Армения отменяет визовый режим со странами-членами Европейского Союза

Армения с 10-го января 2013-го года в одностороннем порядке отменяет визовый режим для граждан стран-членов Евросоюза. Подобное решение будет принято на заседании правительства Армении 4-ого октября.

Армения, в частности, в одностороннем порядке отменит визовый режим с Австрией, Бельгией, Болгарией, Германией, Данией, Эстонией, Ирландией, Испанией, Италией, Латвией, Польшей, Литвой, Люксембургом, Кипром, Грецией, Венгрией, Мальтой, Соединенным Королевством и Северной Ирландией, Нидерландами, Швецией, Чехией, Португалией, Румынией, Словакией, Словенией, Финляндией, Францией и применяющими шенгенские положения (Schengen Acquis) странами, которые не являются членами Европейского союза - Исландией, Лихтенштейном, Норвегией.

В настоящее время для граждан всех вышеуказанных стран применяется визовый режим, а в 13-и случаях (Словакия, Кипр, Польша, Венгрия, Болгария, Латвия, Литва, Румыния, Швейцария, Франция, Эстония, Словения и Норвегия) для лиц, обладающих дипломатическим паспортом, въездная виза не требуется. Согласно новому решению правительства, граждане стран-членов ЕС и  стран, применяющих шенгенские положения, получают въездную визу в диппредставительствах или консульских учреждениях Армении, а также на пограничных пунктах - без предварительного приглашения. В министерстве иностранных дел Армении считают, что отмена визового режима будет способствовать развитию туризма и экономики в республике.

Отметим, что отмена визового режима со странами-членами ЕС и применяющими шенгенские положения странами, которые не являются членами Европейского союза, приведет к сокращению государственной пошлины, которая в годовом разрезе составлянь около 323 млн драмов. За 2011-ый год гражданам объединенной Европы было предоставлено 65,260 въездных виз, что составляет около 27% всех виз, предоставленных в течение года. В 2011-ом году было предоставлено всего 245,425 въездных виз.

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

Borrell underlined that the European Union will make every effort to support the peace process and to remain a committed partner to the Afghan people. "Of course, we will have to take into account the evolving situation, but disengagement is not an option.  We are clear on that: there is no alternative to a negotiated political settlement, through inclusive peace talks.

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.
