Политолог:

Принятие французским Cенатом законопроекта об уголовном наказании за отрицание геноцидов, включая, прежде всего, Геноцида армян, непременно окажет свое влияние на и без того натянутые политические отношения между Евросоюзом и Турцией.  Такое мнение 24 января выразил журналистам заместитель директора института "Кавказ", политолог Сергей Минасян.  

По его словам, более того, именно "армянский вопрос" станет лучшим оружием стран ЕС против Турции, которым они будут пользоваться каждый раз при желании притеснить ее. 

23 января Сенат Франции вынес решение об уголовном наказании за отрицание Геноцида армян. Законопроект, за принятие которого в Сенате проголосовало 127, а "против" - 86 сенаторов, предусматривает наказание в виде года тюремного заключения и штрафа в размере 45 тысяч евро.

"Евросоюз довольно настороженно относится к Турции, которая, в свою очередь, не очень-то стремится войти в его состав, диктуя ЕС свои правила. Утверждение французским Сенатом своего решения станет причиной очередного витка ухудшения отношений между странами ЕС и Турцией. После чего в дальнейшем многие страны могут последовать примеру Франции",- отметил Минасян.

По словам Минасяна, подобная ситуация помимо общеевропейского уровня, несомненно, отразится на отношениях между Францией и Турцией. При этом, по его мнению, Анкара предъявит очередные обвинения в адрес Парижа и  будет вести себя еще более агрессивно в отношении Еревана. "Однако подобным поведением Турция лишь усилит внимание международного сообщества к темным сторонам своей внешней и внутренней политики, тем самым "бросив очередной камень в свой огород" и подтверждая свою вину в Геноциде, осуществленном в отношении армянского народа в 1915-23 гг.", - подытожил политолог.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
