Керри на саммите НАТО в Уэльсе встретился с Алиевым и Саргсяном, и призвал их начать более формальный переговорный процесс по урегулированию карабахского конфликта.

Госсекретарь США, Джон Керри, в минувший четверг встретился с президентом Армении Сержем Саргсяном и президентом Азербайджана Ильхамом Алиевым на саммите НАТО в Ньюпорте, что в Уэльсе, чтобы обсудить усилия по урегулированию конфликта в Нагорном Карабахе.

Он выразил сильную обеспокоенность в связи с недавней вспышкой насилия вдоль линии соприкосновения, что стало самым кровопролитным периодом с момента прекращения огня с 1994. Соединенные Штаты считают, что прекращение боевых действий и нормализация отношений между Арменией и Азербайджаном принесут мир и процветание народам обеих стран, и будет способствовать стабильности на Южном Кавказе. С учетом этих целей, секретарь Керри призвал президентов строго соблюдать прекращение огня и принять дополнительные меры по подготовке своей общественности к миру. 

Керри призвал президентов работать с сопредседателями Минской группой ОБСЕ, которые готовы помочь сторонам в достижении мирного и прочного урегулирования. Он также приветствовал согласие президентов продолжить диалог по ключевым элементам урегулирования.

Он призвал стороны начать более формальный переговорный процесс под эгидой Минской группы, предложенный швейцарским председателем в ОБСЕ. Устойчивый процесс необходим, чтобы повысить доверие между сторонами и подготовиться к прочному миру, который народы региона заслуживают.

У президента Алиева и президента Саргсяна в Ньюпорте также запланированы ряд двусторонних встреч с другими европейскими лидерами, которые собрались на саммите НАТО и, где примут участие в заседаниях союзников по НАТО и стран-партнеров.

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
