Сопредседатели МГ ОБСЕ провели эффективную встречу с президентом НКР

Сопредседатели МГ ОБСЕ провели эффективную встречу с президентом НКР "Хотя раньше я много читал о карабахском конфликте, но практически ничего не знаю, поэтому я должен учиться и по возможности быть полезным вам", - заявил в субботу вечером 3 марта в Степанакерте новоназначенный сопредседатель Минской группы ОБСЕ по урегулированию карабахского конфликта от Франции Жак Фор, совершивший свой первый визит в Нагорный Карабах в качестве посредника вместе с Игорем Поповым (Российская Федерация) и Робертом Брадтке (США).

Как сообщает собкор АрмИнфо в Степанакерте, американский сопредседатель Роберт Брадтке назвал встречу с президентом НКР полезной и эффективной. "В ходе всех наших встреч говорилось о работе, проделанной в последнее время со стороны сопредседателей Минской группы ОБСЕ, были обсуждены все заявления, сделанные после встречи в Сочи 23 января. А в Карабахе мы обсудили также ситуацию на линии соприкосновения", - отметил Брадтке.

Отвечая на вопрос относительно возможного влияния предстоящих в нынешнем году в государствах - участниках конфликта выборов, американский сопредседатель сказал: "Выборы будут проведены не только в ваших странах, но и наших, однако параллельно с этим будет продолжен переговорный процесс, естественно, будет продолжена и наша работа".

"Мы рассказали Бако Сааковичу (президенту НКР - прим. ред.) об обсуждениях в Сочи вокруг расследований на линии соприкосновения, проинформировали, что президенты приняли к сведению проделанную сопредседателями работу и поручили рассмотреть предложенный нами механизм проведения расследований", - сказал российский посредник Игорь Попов.

Сопредседатели отметили, что самым большим достижением 20-летней работы Минской группы ОБСЕ является сохранение мира, с 1994 года по сей день. Вместе с тем они заметили, что для достижения окончательного урегулирования конфликта предстоит большая работа.

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).
