Special representative of Armenia to UN:

The main discussions in UN General Assembly ended on 27 September in New York. When Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov delivered a speech, the discussion between the delegations of Armenia and Azerbaijan started.

As press-service of Armenia's Foreign Ministry reported, Ambassador Karen Nazaryan has stated in his speech that Mammadyarov's statements in address to Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh are the result of his imagination, who still thinks that the propaganda of cold war and anti-Armenian statements released in the UN can serve as useful tools to strengthen the positions of his country in the negotiations being mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group.

Denying Armenia's "aggression", the demands to withdraw Armenian armed forces, and statements on one million refugees, Ambassador Nazaryan has underlined that the minister's accusations and facts are fake and groundless, which harm the negotiations and activities done by the international organizations. Ambassador Nazaryan has stated those statements delay those constructive steps that the people of NK need. He also added that Azerbaijan forced armed conflict against NK. Finally he said that if Azerbaijan misleads its people making fake statements, it doesn't necessarily mean that the same will happen with the international community.

Borrell tells the European Parliament that the situation in Afghanistan was critical, but the EU will remain engaged

Germany will soon have the largest conventional army in Europe, but there will be no conscription

The Bundeswehr currently has around 182,000 troops. The new military service model aims to increase that number by 20,000 over the next year, rising to between 255,000 and 260,000 over the next 10 years, supplemented by approximately 200,000 reservists. From next year, all 18-year-old men and women will be sent a questionnaire to assess their interest and willingness to join the armed forces. It will be mandatory for men and voluntary for women. From July 2027 all men aged 18 will also have to take a medical exam to assess their fitness for duty. If the government's targets are not met, a form of compulsory enlistment could be considered by parliament. If war were to break out, the military would be able to draw on the questionnaires and medical exams for potential recruits. Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said despite the new military service plan there was "no cause for concern... no reason for fear". "The more capable of deterrence and defence our armed forces are, through armament through training and through personnel, the less likely it is that we will become a party to a conflict at all," Pistorius said. Defence spending in Germany tumbled after the end of the Cold War, while conscription was suspended in 2011. Given its past, Germany has long been shy of showing military might, but earlier this year Friedrich Merz announced that the rule for German defence "now has to be whatever it takes", following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Around 300,000 young men per year will be affected. The defense minister argues that this is the only way for the Bundeswehr to get an idea of who could be called up in the event of a conflict.
