В Ереване представлены результаты мониторинга по выполнению обязательств Армении положений программы ЕС "Восточное партнерство"

В Ереване 16 апреля состоялась презентация мониторинга о выполнении Арменией обязательств в рамках программы ЕС "Восточное партнерство". В частности был представлен доклад под заголовком "Сотрудничество во имя открытого общества", составленного Фондом открытого общества Армении.

В докладе представлены реформы в области судопроизводства и таможенной системы в Армении. Помимо этого доклад затронул реформы, связанные с защитой прав человека в Армении, свободой деятельности СМИ. Центральное место в докладе заняла борьба против коррупции.

По словам директора Фонда открытого общества Армении Ларисы Минасян, со дня проведения мониторинга зафиксирован прогресс во всех сферах, но многочисленные недостатки и по-прежнему и изъяны по-прежнему дают о себе знать. При этом все составители доклада единогласно подтвердили, что в Армении деятельность гражданских учреждений не соответствует демократическим стандартам.

На это заместитель министра иностранных дел Армении Зограб Мнацаканян возразил составителям доклада, заметив, что в докладе есть предложения и положения, с которыми он категорически не согласен. При этом замминистра выразил уверенность, что после дискуссии они обязательно найдут общий язык и придут к желанному взаимовыгодному итогу.
Инициатива "Восточное партнерство" была выдвинута Польшей и Швецией и утверждена на саммите ЕС в Брюсселе в 2008 году, официально учреждена в мае 2009 года в Праге. Цель программы - сближение ЕС с Украиной, Арменией, Молдавией, Грузией, Азербайджаном и Белоруссией без их принятия в состав ЕС. Программа предусматривает значительное повышение уровня политического взаимодействия, широкую интеграцию бывших советских республик в экономику ЕС, увеличение объемов предоставляемой им финансовой помощи и усиление энергетической безопасности.

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).
