Французский депутат: Пришло время мобилизовать все усилия для пресечения антиармянской политики Турции и Азербайджана

Экс-президент Франции Николя Саркози создал в период своего президентства все необходимые условия для принятия законопроекта о криминализации отрицания армян, и нынешнему президенту Франсуа Оланду предстоит лишь выполнить свое предвыборное обещание и провести документ. Об этом в интервью Общественному телевидению Армении заявила депутат парламента Франции от партии Союз за народное движение Валери Буайе, являющаяся автором законопроекта о криминализации отрицания Геноцида армян.

При этом она отметила, что Оланд ведет несколько отличную от Саркози политику в отношении Турции. "Мы сейчас посмотрим, выполнит ли он свое предвыборное обещание. Скоро 100-летняя годовщина Геноцида армян, и мы обязаны довести дело до конца. Политические силы Франции должны поддержать эту инициативу",- отметила она, добавив, что Турция сама, своей отказнической и агрессивной позицией,  способствовала внесению армянского вопроса в европейскую повестку. "Однако теперь в Турции поняли, что во Франции есть люди, которые их не боятся",- отметила депутат, добавив при этом, что после принятия Сенатом представленного ею законопроекта  со стороны турок начались такие угрозы, что для защиты депутата и ее семьи пришлось привлечь правоохранительные органы. "Я ожидала такой реакции, но это было неважно", - сказала Буайе.

Депутат вновь подчеркнула, что намерена внести законопроект о криминализации отрицания Геноцида армян в повестку Сената Франции. Она также сообщила, что лоббирует признание Геноцида армян и в ряде других европейских стран.

Говоря об обвинениях в адрес экс-президента Николя Саркози в том, что он мог бы подписать принятую Сенатом резолюцию о криминализации отрицания Геноцида до того, как Конституционный суд Франции поставил на него вето, депутат заметила: <Это неверное мнение, Саркози не мог подписать данный документ до вердикта КС, это было бы нарушением закона>. Буайе подчеркнула, что Саркози был очень смелым президентом, и способствовал принятию этой резолюции, несмотря на протест Турции и ряда европейских стран.

По мнению Буайе, принятие законопроекта смягчило бы отказнческую позицию Анкары по Армянскому вопросу и пресекло бы экстрадицию и помилование азербайджанского убийцы Рамиля Сафарова. Комментируя информацию о том, что Венгрия эксрадировала Сафарова взамен на азербайджанские инвестиции в размере 03 млр евро, депутат подчеркнула: "Не хочу верить, что все можно купить за деньги и нефть". Она также посчитала неадекватной реакцию Парижа на экстрадицию и помилование Сафарова.  "Пришло время мобилизовать все усилия для пресечения антиармянской политики Турции и посягательств Азербайджана в отношении Нагорного Карабаха",- резюмировала депутат.

Russia adds pressure on Armenia ahead of key elections; recalls Ambassador in Yerevan for consultations

On 30 May, Russia recalled its Ambassador to Yerevan for consultations. A terse statement, published on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said, "The Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Armenia , S.P. Kopyrkin, has been summoned to Moscow for consultations in connection with the steps taken by the Armenian leadership to move closer to the European Union, which are detrimental to cooperation within the EAEU." This followed a statement issued the day before, by the leaders of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) that challenges the Armenian trajectory towards approximating to the European Union. Vladimir Putin is undertood to have personally pushed the other four EAEU leaders to issue the statement, which said: "Taking into account the significant risks to the economic security of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (hereinafter referred to as the Union) arising in connection with the preparation of the Republic of Armenia for accession to the European Union, as well as the need to prevent the associated damage to the member states of the Union: decided that the members of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council from the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic and the Russian Federation will report at the next meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in December 2026 on the possible consequences of the suspension of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union with respect to the Republic of Armenia. We share the position on the need to hold a national referendum in the Republic of Armenia as soon as possible on joining the European Union or continuing to be part of the Eurasian Economic Union."

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."
