Россия ключ к решению карабахского конфликта - Меркель

Россия играет ключевую роль в решении нагорно-карабахского конфликта, заявила канцлер Германии Ангела Меркель на совместной пресс-конференции со своим азербайджанским коллегой.

Меркель, которая, как известно, поддерживает самые близкие отношения с Владимиром Путиным среди западных лидеров, вновь заявляет о поддержке Германией дипломатического урегулирования конфликта под эгидой Минской группы ОБСЕ. ОБСЕ в настоящее время возглавляет представитель Германии, Франк-Вальтер Штайнмайер.

"Россия, конечно же, будет играть ключевую роль в урегулировании нагорно-карабахского конфликта. Мы используем наши контакты для содействия российскому правительству, а также сопредседателям Минской группы (Франция и США) в урегулировании нагорно-карабахского конфликта", сказала Меркель.

Меркель и Алиев выступили на открытии бизнес-форума в Берлине. Алиев повторил её слова касательно России, заявив, что страна играет "очень конструктивную" роль в работе по урегулированию карабахского конфликта.

Россия поддерживает тесные связи и с Арменией, и с Азербайджаном, и поставляет оружие в обе страны. Тем не менее, в качестве союзника по Евразийскому экономическому союзу, Армения покупает вооружения по льготным ценам.

Меркель и Алиев также обсудили экономические реформы и попытки диверсифицировать и развивать ненефтяной сектор в Азербайджане.

Ethiopian dam upsets Egypt, whilst China plays a difficult game

Ethiopia last week opened its mega dam on the River Nile, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). The launch has sparked a tense diplomatic battle between Ethiopia and Egypt, with Cairo denouncing it as “an unlawful unilateral act” and protesting to the United Nations Security Council. During an inauguration ceremony on Tuesday (9 September) Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed described the US$5 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam as a “symbol of Ethiopian unity and national achievement". Several regional leaders, including Kenyan President William Ruto and Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, attended the event. Egypt, whose life has historically centred around the River Nile, believes the dam will threaten its water supply and cause shortages. Following the inauguration, Cairo warned that it reserved the right to take all measures provided for under international law and the UN Charter to “defend the existential interests of its people”. Sudan, has also raised concerns about dam safety and the risk of uncoordinated water releases.
