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.

Campaign "Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025" launched

LINKS Europe is pleased to announce the launch of the campaign Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025. This will be the fourth Landmine Free South Caucasus campaign that LINKS Europe is co-ordinating since 2019, and like previous editions, the campaign will be regional, involving Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, and will have five official languages: Armenian, Azerbaijani, Georgian, Russian and English. LINKS Europe will work with stakeholders in the three countries in the delivery of the campaign. The campaign will run from 1 September to 15 December. The first part, from 1 September to 15 November, will be largely informative, using media and social media, whilst engaging with decision makers and civil society in the three countries. In the second part of the campaign, from 15 November to 15 December, the focus this year will be on the human and economic costs of landmine contamination. The Campaign will again mark 30 November as the Day of Solidarity with the victims of landmines and other remnants of war in the South Caucasus. A spokesperson for LINKS Europe said this year the campaign takes special significance following the progress in the Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Process and the historic meeting between the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders, together with the US president in the White House on 8 August. For six years, between 2018-2024, LINKS Europe worked on landmine issues in a very difficult political context, but always insisted that a regional approach was necessary for successful mine action in the South Caucasus. It consistently held that mine action could serve as a confidence-building measure in the region. Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025 will again push these ideas, but the context has changed, and the chance of success is now higher.
