РУКИ ПРОЧЬ ОТ CIVILITAS! США и Европа просят правительство Армении прекратить преследование уважаемого НПО CIVILITAS. Лучше поздно, чем никогда.

Западные правительства, наконец-то, заняли твердую позицию против притеснений со стороны правительства Армении уважаемого НПО CIVILITAS, которая была предметом расследования со стороны армянской Службы национальной безопасности в течение почти года. Организация была основана в 2008 году бывшим министром иностранных дел Армении Варданом Осканяном и быстро зарекомендовала себя для серьезной и инновационной работы. В прошлом году Осканян был обвинен в отмывании денег и организация стала предметом интенсивного расследования, проведенного Службой национальной безопасности Армении, в чем многие видели действия направленные на саботаж политической карьеры Осканяна. Осканян только что был избран членом парламента Армении, и было предположение, что он будет кандидатом на президентских выборах, которые состоялись в феврале. Как полагают, данное дело вынудило Осканяна  изменить свои планы.

Вчера послы США, Германии и Швейцарии, а также другие дипломаты присутствовали на брифинге в офисе Civilitas в Ереване, в ходе которого они высоко оценили организацию за ее профессионализм. Они приветствовали ее как надежного партнера и недвусмысленно призвали правительство прекратить ее преследование.

Политический редактор Commonspace.eu в комментарии сообщает, что "это вмешательство, даже если оно должно было произойти давно, было необходимым и оно приветствуется. Civilitas в короткие сроки создала себе отличную репутацию, основанную на послужном списке профессионализма и инноваций. Ее работа особенно со средствами массовой информации и с привлечением молодых людей была похвальной. Сам Осканян продолжает считаться уважаемым государственным деятелем в международном сообществе. Западные правительства в последнее время находились под некоторым давлением из-за слишком мягкой позиции по отношению к правительству Армении и из-за того, что слишком быстро приняли результаты президентских выборов в прошлом месяце. Вчерашняя публичная поддержка Civilitas это послание для правительства Армении не испытывать свою дачу."

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
