Террористический акт в центре Анкары

В воскресенье вечером в центре турецкой столицы Анкара вновь прогремел мощный взрыв. Как сообщили турецкие власти, погибли не менее 34 человек, еще 125 получили ранения.

Взрыв произошел в 18:43 по местному времени на главной улице Анкары - бульваре имени Ататюрка, рядом с главной городской площадью Кызылай и парком Гювен. По предварительным данным, террорист-смертник подорвал заминированный автомобиль недалеко от автобусной остановки в непосредственной близости от одного из автобусов, в котором находились около 20 человек.

Президент Турции Реджеп Тайип Эрдоган заявил, что Турция стала объектом нападений террористов из-за нестабильности в регионе в последние годы. По его словам, страна полна решимости бороться с терроризмом. "Турция не будет отказываться от права на самооборону и не прекратит борьбу с терроризмом", - сказал он. Эрдоган выразил соболезнования родственникам погибших и пожелал скорейшего выздоровления раненым.

Это уже третий крупный теракт в турецкой столице за последние пять месяцев. В минувшем октябре в результате двух взрывов, произошедших рядом с митингом профсоюзных активистов около центрального железнодорожного вокзала, погибли 102 человека, еще более 200 пострадали.

В феврале этого года в районе, где расположены военные учреждения, смертник подорвал автомобиль, начиненный взрывчаткой. В результате не менее 30 человек погибли и около 60 пострадали.

Соболезнования Турции в связи с трагедий уже выразили власти России, США, Франции, Великобритании, а также руководство ООН, ЕС и НАТО.

Президент России Владимир Путин решительно осудил теракт в Анкаре, а также выразил соболезнования народу Турции в связи с многочисленными жертвами. Об этом сообщил пресс-секретарь главы государства Дмитрий Песков.

Medical Students stand for a Landmine Free South Caucasus

Medical Students in Tbilisi have participated in the campaign LANDMINE FREE SOUTH CAUCASUS 2026. The regional’ Landmine Free South Caucasus’ (LFSC) campaign was initiated by LINKS Europe Foundation in 2018 to address the critical issue of landmine and unexploded ordnance contamination in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. With significant landmine contamination in the region posing an ongoing threat to life and eliciting high economic costs, LFSC advocated for a regional, holistic approach to complete clearance.  Future Doctors Join the Conversation on Friday, 16 October in Tbilisi. "As part of the Landmine Free South Caucasus 2026 campaign, an informative and interactive meeting was held in Tbilisi with medical students. The session was conducted by George Simonishvili, South Caucasus Co-ordinator for LINKS Europe.  The meeting focused on the humanitarian consequences of landmines and other explosive remnants of war in Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, with particular attention to the Red Bridge minefield near the borders of the three countries, and emphasised that these dangers remain a current humanitarian challenge. It also underlined that future medical professionals will encounter the long-term effects of explosion injuries and can play a role in awareness and prevention.  Students actively engaged throughout the discussion, showing strong interest in the humanitarian impact and the need for cooperation. Under the slogan "Future Doctors for a Landmine Free South Caucasus," the event encouraged students to support public awareness, solidarity with survivors, and a safer South Caucasus free from landmine threats.  The event was organised by LINKS Europe as part of LFSC26.  "Medical Students Stand for a Landmine Free South Caucasus," "Future Doctors, Safer Futures: Together Against Landmines."

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Today, commonspace.eu starts a new regular weekly series. THURSDAY INTERVIEW, conducted by Lauri Nikulainen, will host  persons who are thinkers, opinion shapers, and implementors in their countries and spheres. We start the series with an interview with Murad Muradov, a leading person in Azerbaijan's think tank community. He is also the first co-chair of the Action Committee for a new Armenian-Azerbaijani Dialogue. Last September he made history by being the first Azerbaijani civil society activist to visit Armenia after the 44 day war, and the start of the peace process. Speaking about this visit Murad Muradov said: "My experience was largely positive. My negative expectations luckily didn’t play out. The discussions were respectful, the panel format bringing together experts from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey was particularly valuable during the NATO Rose-Roth Seminar in Yerevan, and media coverage, while varied in tone, remained largely constructive. Some media outlets though attempted to represent me as more of a government mouthpiece than an independent expert, which was totally misleading.  Overall, I see these initiatives as important steps in rebuilding trust and normalising professional engagement. The fact that soon a larger Azerbaijani civil society visits to Armenia followed, reinforces the sense that this process is moving in the right direction."
