"ЕС готов помочь, но решение зависит от воли сторон"

Комитет Европейского парламента по обороне и безопасности в среду (20 июня) провел специальное заседание для обсуждения ситуации в области безопасности вокруг Нагорного Карабаха, а также тот вклад, который Европейский Союз может сделать в урегулирование конфликта. В своем выступлении перед депутатами Европарламента специальный представитель ЕС на Южном Кавказе, посол Филипп Лефорт, подтвердил готовность Европейского Союза помочь сторонам продвинуться к урегулированию конфликта, но подчеркнул, что решение зависит от политической воли руководства Армении и Азербайджана.

Открывая заседание, г-н Арно Данжан, председатель комитета парламента по безопасности и обороне, заявил, что ситуация вокруг Нагорного Карабаха является предметом обеспокоенности Комитета и парламента. Комитет заслушал доклады Трейси Герман из Департамента оборонных исследований Королевского колледжа в Лондоне, который говорил об общей ситуации в области безопасности, Адам Эберхардт, заместитель директора Центра восточных исследований Польши, который проинформировал Комитет о ситуации в Армении и Азербайджане и Деннис Саммут, директор LINKS, который проинформировал комитет о роли ЕС в урегулировании конфликта. В своем письменном представлении комитету Деннис Саммут также представил десять предложений, которые  Европейский Союз может сделать для повышения своей роли в процессе урегулирования нагорно-карабахского конфликта.

На встрече также выступили специальный представитель ЕС на Южном Кавказе, Филипп Лефорт, который представил Комитету обзор текущей ситуации.

Многие депутаты Европарламента задали вопросы и высказали свои замечания после презентации.

Поскольку слушание было открытым на встрече присутствовала большая аудитория дипломатов, журналистов, официальных лиц ЕС, члены аналитических центров из Брюсселя и другие заинтересованные лица, что еще раз подтверждает интерес к этой теме.

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.
