Европейско-азербайджанское общество отметило День Независимости Азербайджана мероприятием в Европейском Парламенте

24 October 2011

Европейско-азербайджанское общество организовало мероприятие в Европейском парламенте на прошлой неделе по случаю 20-летия независимости Азербайджана. Члены Европейского парламента Тунне Келам, Евгений Кирилов и Иво Вайгль  присоединились к Эмину Эюбову, послу Азербайджана в европейских институтах, давая оптимистичный прогноз стране. Они подчеркнули необходимость мира в армяно-азербайджанском конфликта вокруг Нагорного Карабаха и непрерывность ускоренного экономического развития. Другим членом группы был Тале Гейдаров, председатель и основатель Европейско-азербайджанского общества, и Йоран Линдблад, бывший вице-президент Парламентской Ассамблеи Совета Европы (ПАСЕ) и председатель Комиссии по политическим вопросам ПАСЕ, который выступал в роли арбитра дискуссии.

Посол Эйюбов подвел итоги азербайджанского демократического развития и объяснил, что его страна является "древним народом", хоть и "молодым государством". После периода беспорядка в 1991-93, из-за войны с Арменией, в сочетании с экономическим спадом, ситуация быстро совершенствуются и была достигнута стабильность. Он подчеркнул потенциальные экономические выгоды для Армении, в случае, если мир будет достигнут, так как это позволило бы перевозить углеводородные ресурсы через ее территорию.

Посол подчеркнул, что, начиная с 1994 года, Азербайджан превратился в "локомотив" для углеводородных ресурсов, становясь надежным источником энергии для Западной Европы. Он привел цифры из The Economist, которая пришла к выводу, что Азербайджан пережил наибольший рост ВВП в мире в течение последнего десятилетия, в настоящее время на него приходится 83 процента всего ВВП Южного Кавказа. Что касается безопасности, он подчеркнул, участие его страны в различных миротворческих миссиях НАТО, в том числе в Афганистане. Он признал, что самой большой проблемой остается достижение "конструктивного решения" по Нагорному Карабаху. Он пригласил всех присутствующих принять участие в Евровидении в Баку в мае 2012 года.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

8 January 2026
The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
