Экс-глава МИД НКР: Турция может инициировать боевые действия в зоне карабахского конфликта, пытаясь насолить России

Армения не должна со стороны наблюдать и злорадствовать по поводу ухудшения российско-турецких отношений, ошибочно полагать, что обострение этих отношений пойдет Еревану на пользу. Об этом на пресс- конференции заявил экс-глава МИД Нагорно-Карабахской Республики Арман Меликян.

Он считает, что в случае обострения отношений Турция может подтолкнуть своего младшего партнера - Азербайджан на новую авантюру против Армении и Нагорного Карабаха, с тем, чтобы причинить Москве новую головную боль. "Несмотря на тесные торгово-экономические связи между Россией и Турцией, несмотря на разговоры о стратегическом партнерстве, в реальности эти отношения не имеют будущего. Москва и Анкара - это давние соперники, и существующие между ними противоречия слишком серьезные и глубокие", - отметил он.

По его словам, в целом, ни приливы, ни отливы в отношениях между Москвой и Анкарой не принесут Еревану какую-либо выгоду, так как улучшение таит в себе одни риски, ухудшение - другие. Следовательно, считает он, необходимо вести взвешенную, грамотную внешнюю политику и суметь мобилизовать все существующие ресурсы для противостояния внешним угрозам.  Напомним, некоторая напряженность в российско-турецких отношениях наступила в результате инцидента 10 октября. Когда самолет, выполнявший рейс Москва - Дамаск, находился в турецком воздушном пространстве, его стали преследовать два истребителя F-16 ВВС Турции. Борт вынудили приземлиться в Анкаре в связи с подозрениями в незаконной транспортировке оружия. После посадки турецкие спецслужбы изъяли с борта 12 опечатанных ящиков. Позже премьер-министр Турции Реджеп Тайип Эрдоган заявил, что в ящиках находилось предназначавшееся Сирии военное оборудование. Россия опровергла эту информацию. Как заявил в пятницу глава МИД Сергей Лавров, самолет легально перевозил электротехническое оборудование для РЛС.

Campaign "Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025" launched

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.
