САРКОЗИ ЗАВЕРШАЕТ ТУРНЕ ПО КАВКАЗУ. Он призывает к диалогу и говорит, что "конфликт не есть судьба, ни на Кавказе, ни где-либо еще".

8 October 2011

Президент Франции Николя Саркози в пятницу вечером завершил свой короткий визит по трем странам Южного Кавказа. За тридцать часов поездки в регион французский лидер призвал к диалогу Армению и Азербайджан, а также Россию и Грузию. Выступая на площади Свободы в Тбилиси, Саркози заявил, что "конфликт не является судьбой, ни на Кавказе, ни где-либо еще".

В ходе своего короткого визита президент Саркози встретился с лидерами трех стран в их столицах.

Выступление французского лидера в Армении, в ходе которого он призвал Турцию признать убийства 1915 года как геноцид, и предполагая, что Франция может принять закон об уголовной ответственности за отрицание геноцида, вызвала резкую реакцию со стороны турецкого правительства. Министр иностранных дел Турции, Ахмет Давутоглу сказал, что "Страны, у которых в прошлом была не одна колония и которые относились к их жителям, как к людям второго сорта, не имеют право учить Турцию и требовать смотреть в лицо своей истории. Те, кто желают, чтобы Турция столкнулась со своей историей, должны сначала посмотреть в зеркало". Турции попросила своего посла в Париже, подать дипломатический протест французскому правительству по поводу речи президента.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

8 January 2026
The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
