Давутоглу посетит Армению в ближайшие дни. Визит министра иностранных дел Турции является признаком постоянного интереса к нормализации армяно-турецких отношений

Министр иностранных дел Турции Ахмед Давутоглу на следующей неделе посетит Армению в знак того, что и Армения, и Турция продолжают поиск путей нормализации их отношений.

Давутоглу заявил, что он принял приглашение Армении для участия в заседании Организации Черноморского экономического сотрудничества (ОЧЭС) в Ереване, 12 декабря.

"Турция является одним из членов-учредителей организации. Штаб-квартира организации находится в Стамбуле, где Армения, которая является членом организации, также имеет своего представителя. Я получил приглашение и решил принять его после консультаций с президентом", сказал Давутоглу журналистам на пресс-конференции в Анкаре.

В то же время, согласно турецким СМИ, Давутоглу встретился вчера со своим армянским коллегой Эдвардом Налбандяном в ходе заседания Совета министров ОБСЕ в столице Украины, Киеве. Он также провел встречи со своим азербайджанским коллегой Эльмаром Мамедъяровым и министром иностранных дел России Сергеем Лавровым.

Турция и Армения были близки к восстановлению дипломатических отношений в 2009 году после подписания ряда соглашений, направленных на нормализацию отношений между ними. Однако, соглашения так и не были ратифицированы. Азербайджан оказал давление на Турцию, с целью блокировать эти соглашения пока не будет достигнут прогресс в процессе урегулирования нагорно-карабахского конфликта. Армянская диаспора в свою очередь критиковала правительство Армении из-за нормализации отношений с Анкарой без предварительного признания зверств в Анатолии в первой половине 20-го века в качестве геноцида.

Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees released as Trump’s Gaza plan is endorsed in Egypt summit

Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees released as Trump’s Gaza plan is endorsed in Egypt summit

Hamas freed the last living Israeli hostages from Gaza on Monday 13 October under a ceasefire deal and Israel sent home busloads of Palestinian detainees, as U.S. President Donald Trump declared the end of the two-year long war in the Middle East. Hours later, Trump convened Muslim and European leaders in Egypt to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip and the possibility of a wider regional peace, even as Hamas and Israel, both absent from the gathering, are yet to agree on the next steps. The Israeli military said it had received all 20 hostages confirmed to be alive, after their transfer form Gaza by the Red Cross. The announcement prompted cheering, hugging and weeping among thousands waiting at "Hostage Square" in Tel Aviv. In Gaza, thousands of relatives, many weeping with joy, gathered at a hospital where buses brought home some of the nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees to be freed by Israel as part of the accord. "The skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still and the sun rises on a Holy Land that is finally at peace," Trump told the Knesset, Israel's parliament, saying a "long nightmare" for both Israelis and Palestinians was over.
