Степанакерт на следующей неделе откроет аэропорт.

Источники из самопровозглашенной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики в Степанакерте говорят, что аэропорт откроется на следующей неделе, и что авиакомпания Air Арцах будет совершать полеты в и из аэропорта. Армянские СМИ цитируют Дмитрия Адбашяна, главу Департамента гражданской авиации территориального образования, которые заявляет, что полеты начнутся в ближайшее время и что пропускная способность аэропорта будет до ста пассажиров в час.

Скорее всего от Азербайджана последует сильная реакция из-за открытия аэропорта. Азербайджан считает Нагорный Карабах частью своей национальной территории и настаивает на том, что открытие аэропорта должно быть согласовано с его правительством. Ответ, вероятно, будет дипломатическим и политическим, а не военным. Ранее звучали угрозы со стороны официальных лиц среднего уровня Азербайджана, о том что самолеты, выполняющие рейсы в и из Степанакерта будут сбиты, но позже эти заявления были отклонены более высокопоставленными правительственными чиновниками. Но нет никаких сомнений, что правительство Азербайджана будет раздражено этим шагом и примет некоторые ответные меры.

Из-за географического месторасположения между армянскими и азербайджанскими авиадиспетчерами после конфликта между двумя странами, который начался два десятилетия назад, продолжалось некоторое сотрудничество в том числе в сфере экстренных посадок. Но с увеличением воздушного движения, и параллельно с появлением более сложных систем противовоздушной обороны с обеих сторон, риск также возрастает.

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.
