"Статус-кво является неприемлемым". Брадтке защищает нынешний формат переговоров по Карабаху и обвиняет стороны в отсутствии доверия.

Сопредседатель МГ ОБСЕ от США, что способствует переговорам по решению проблемы между армянами и азербайджанцами в Нагорном Карабахе, посол Роберт Брадтке, дал обширное интервью Радио Свободе в котором он размышляет о последних двадцати годах мирного процесса и о перспективах на будущее. Интервью Брадтке состоялось на фоне возрастающей критики процесса и его формата в международных кругах.

Брадтке, однако, отверг критику и сказал, что отсутствие доверия между сторонами, что они не в состоянии понять, что они, возможно, намного ближе к достижению соглашения, чем им самим кажется. Американский дипломат сказал: "Я не думаю, что проблема нашей неспособности достичь мирного соглашения заключается в формате Минской группы или ее сопредседателей. Проблема в том, что это очень сложные вопросы. Различия между сторонами очень велики, и есть нехватка доверия. Изменение формата не решит какую-либо из этих проблем. Все  они будут продолжать существовать."

В интервью Роберт Брадтке также говорил о важности диалогуа между людьми. Он заявил, что "Если оглянуться назад в 20-летней перспективы, что мы видим сегодня - новые поколения в Армении и Азербайджане выросли порознь. Между ними нет личных отношений, которые могли бы помочь им понять перспективы другой стороны и преодолеть стереотипы, которые зачастую можно встретить в армянских и азербайджанских медиа."

Брадтке подчеркнул, что по мнению сопредседателей "статус-кво является неприемлемым", добавив, что " И поэтому, я считаю, что мы должны решить конфликт, достичь прогресса.  Мы не можем спустя 20 лет оглянуться назад и увидеть ту же ситуацию, что сегодня."

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
