ЕС "не признает конституционные и правовые рамки", в которых проводятся выборы в Карабахе.

Люди, живущие в Нагорном Карабахе, сегодня отправятся на избирательные участки, чтобы избрать нового президента. Общее количество избирателей составляет 98,909. Власти самопровозглашенной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики прилажили усилия, чтобы попытаться спроецировать выборы, как упражнение по  демократии, но выборы оспариваются со стороны Азербайджана и международного сообщества. Азербайджанцы из Нагорного Карабаха, перемещенные в результате конфликта, не могут участвовать в выборах и власти в Степанакерте не признаны на международном уровне. Армянские СМИ сообщают, что восемьдесят международных наблюдателей будут следить за выборами, но они не представляют не одну из крупнейших международных организаций. Азербайджан заявил, что любой человек, посетивший Нагорный Карабах без его разрешения попадёт в черный список.

Верховный представитель Европейского Союза по иностранным делам и политике безопасности, Вице-президент Европейской Комиссии, Кэтрин Эштон, выступила с заявлением, в преддверии выборов. В заявлении говорится:

"19 июля в Нагорного Карабахе состоятся "президентские выборы". Я хотел бы подчеркнуть, что Европейский Союз не признает конституционные и правовые рамки, в которых они будут проходить.

Эти "выборы" не должны наносить ущерба определению будущего статуса Нагорного Карабаха в ходе основных рамок переговоров по мирному урегулированию конфликта. Я напоминаю о твердой поддержке со стороны ЕС Минской группы ОБСЕ, и, в частности, непрерывные усилия, предпринимаемые его сопредседателями, направленные на мирное урегулирование конфликта.

Я призываю стороны активизировать свои усилия по поиску переговорного решения конфликта на основе мадридских принципов, которые позволили бы выйти за рамки статус-кво. Я подтверждаю готовность ЕС оказывать дальнейшую поддержку усилиям в этом направлении."

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

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.
