Бернар Фасье:

Посредникам придется выступить с новой концепцией урегулирования в случае, если стороны откажутся принять Мадридские принципы, - заявил французский сопредседатель МГ ОБСЕ Бернар Фасье накануне в ходе слушаний по ситуации в Нагорном Карабахе на заседании Комитета по международным делам Европейского парламента.

Представив историю переговорного процесса, Фасье подчеркнул: "На разных этапах переговоров Армения или Азербайджан высказывались против представленных принципов, однако во время последней встречи в Сочи нам удалось добиться определенного устного соглашения, которое, мы надеемся, будет закреплено в письменной форме в ближайшем будущем".

По его словам, переговоры по урегулированию проблемы проходили в три этапа: в конце 1990-х сопредседатели предлагали вариант интеграции Нагорного Карабаха в состав Азербайджана, что было отвергнуто Арменией. Затем, согласно Фасье, была предпринята попытка легитимизировать отделение Нагорного Карабаха, что было отвергнуто азербайджанской стороной. В конечном итоге, - отметил дипломат, - сопредседатели предложили начать решение тех вопросов, которые можно урегулировать на данном этапе переговоров, до достижения окончательного разрешения проблемы.

Напомним, что 25 июня в рамках саммита СНГ в Казани состоится встреча президентов Армении, России и Азербайджана, на которой будет обсуждаться карабахское урегулирование.

Andrii Parubiy shot dead in Lviv - a "shot fired at the heart of Ukraine"

Andrii Parubiy shot dead in Lviv - a "shot fired at the heart of Ukraine"

The former speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, Andriy Parubiy, has been shot dead in the Ukrainian western city of Lviv. Police received reports of the shooting in the Frankivsk district of Lviv, western Ukraine, at around midday local time on Saturday. Unconfirmed reports suggest he was shot multiple times by a gunman dressed as a courier on an e-bike. Parubiy, 54, rose to prominence during Ukraine's Euromaidan movement, which advocated for closer ties with the EU and brought down pro-Russian former President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described it as a "terrible murder" and offered his condolences. Parubiy was a pivotal figure in the Euromaidan movement, which began after the Ukrainian government refused to sign an association agreement with the EU in late 2013. He later became secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, during a period when pro-Russian separatists began fighting in eastern Ukraine - and when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the annexation of the Crimea peninsula. Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Parubiy joined Ukraine's territorial defence. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described Parubiy as "a patriot and statesman who made an enormous contribution to the defence of Ukraine's freedom, independence and sovereignty". Sybiha added: "He was a man who rightfully belongs in the history books." Former President Petro Poroshenko said the killing of Parubiy was "a shot fired at the heart of Ukraine".
