ФРАНЦИЯ-ПРЕЗИДЕНТ-КАРАБАХ-КОММЕНТАРИЙ

Президент Франции Николя Саркози выразил надежду на достижение мира между Арменией и Азербайджаном.
Выступая сегодня на совместной с президентом Армении Сержем Саргсяном пресс-конференции, глава французского государства, заявил, единственным решением является возобновление переговоров между армянской и азербайджанской сторонами в рамках Минской группы ОБСЕ.


"Мы видим, что можно достичь точки соприкосновения для установления мира в связи с этой проблемой", - заявил Саркози.


Он отметил, что регион Южного Кавказа достаточно нестабильный, и достижение мира важно с точки зрения развития двух стран.


Напомним, что Франция вместе с США и Россией является сопредседателем Минской группы ОБСЕ по урегулированию нагорно-карабахского конфликта.


Началоконфликту было положено в 1988 году, после решения властей населенного армянами Нагорного Карабаха о выходе из состава Азербайджана. 10 декабря 1991 года в Нагорном Карабахе состоялся референдум, где 99,89% высказались за полную независимость от Азербайджана. В ответ Азербайджан начал широкомасштабные боевые действия, которые привели к потере контроля не только над Нагорным Карабахом, но и прилегающими к нему семью районами. С 12 мая 1994 года после вступления в силу трехстороннего соглашения о перемирии в зоне конфликта прекращены военные действия, в результате которых с обеих сторон погибло примерно 25-30 тысяч человек и около 1 миллиона были вынуждены покинуть свои дома. Соглашение об установлении режима прекращения огня соблюдается до сих пор. С 1992 года по сей день ведутся переговоры по мирному урегулированию конфликта в рамках Минской группы ОБСЕ.

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.
