АрмИнфо: "Представитель МИД РФ надеется, что Азербайджан воздержится от применения силы в отношении гражданских самолетов, летящих в Степанакерт"

Ереван, 08.02.13. АрмИнфо.

Представитель МИД РФ Александр Лукашевич надеется, что Азербайджан воздержится от применения силы в отношении гражданских самолетов, летящих в Степанакерт. Об этом он заявил в ходе брифинга, - сообщает пресс-служба российского МИД.

По его словам, вопрос эксплуатации аэропорта в Нагорном Карабахе неоднократно освещался сопредседателями Минской группы ОБСЕ по урегулированию нагорно- карабахского конфликта. При этом он процитировал последнее заявление от 13 июля 2012 г., в котором сопредседатели вновь подтвердили позицию, связанную с планами открытия аэропорта в Нагорном Карабахе. В заявлении, в частности, говорится: "Мы вновь получили заверение сторон, что они будут воздерживаться от использования силы или ее угрозы против гражданских самолетов, и намерены решать этот вопрос дипломатическим путем".

Отметим, в настоящее время строительство степанакертского аэропорта завершено, произведен монтаж инфраструктуры. Аэропорт обеспечен необходимыми радиолокационными и навигационными системами, современным оборудованием, в том числе российского производства. Длина взлетной полосы аэропорта составляет 2 км 300 м.  Локаторы позволяют наблюдать за самолетами на расстоянии до 150 километров. Уникальная система спутниковой радионавигации в районе аэродрома обеспечивает посадку даже при нулевой видимости. Пропускная способность аэропорта - 100 пассажиров в час.  Напомним также, что Баку неоднократно угрожал сбивать летящие в Степанакерт гражданские самолеты. В этой связи ранее министр обороны Армении Сейран Оганян журналистам заявил, что армянские силы ПВО в случае открытия аэропорта обеспечат безопасный полет воздушных судов в Нагорный Карабах.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
