Айк Демоян:

Не стоит питать каких-либо иллюзий по поводу того, что власти США в преддверие 97-летней годовщины Геноцида армян изменят свою позицию, даже, несмотря на то, что в ноябре в этой стране ожидаются президентские выборы. Подобное мнение 10 апреля на пресс-конференции, отвечая на вопрос АрмИнфо, выразил директор Музея-института Геноцида армян Айк Демоян.

По словам Демояна, направленные на международное признание Геноцида усилия армянского лобби, армянской дипломатии и армянского народа в целом не должны сконцентрироваться на том, чтобы добиться использования американским президентом термина "геноцид" в своем выступлении 23 апреля. По его мнению, в процессе признания Геноцида есть более важные и эффективные направления, в частности, эффективное использование имеющегося огромного библиографического арсенала, документальных материалов, исследований ученых и экспертов в области истории Геноцида армян.

В этой связи Демоян подчеркнул, что в конце апреля в Музее-институте пройдет беспрецедентная выставка работ, посвященных теме Геноцида. На выставке будут показаны около 300 единиц изданий на разных языках. Для прессы выставка будет открыта 23 апреля.

Напомним, что ранее президент США Барак Обама в период предвыборной кампании обещал в случае избрания признать Геноцид армян. Став президентом, однако, Обама 24 апреля 2009 г. и в течение всех последующих годовщин Геноцида лишь произнес словосочетание "Мец Ехерн", что в переводе на армянский означает "Великая Резня".

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.
