Хефферн: Вашингтон ожидает от Баку и Будапешта объяснений в связи с экстрадицией и помилованием азербайджанского убийцы

Вашингтон ожидает объяснений от Баку по факту экстрадиции и помилования убийцы армянского офицера Гургена Маркаряна Рамиля Сафарова. Об этом заявил посол США в Армении Джон Хефферн во время церемонии подписания соглашения по продолжению сотрудничества с Генеральной прокуратурой Армении.

При этом посол напомнил, что Вашингтон сразу выразил свою озабоченность по этому поводу. <Хочу вновь подчеркнуть, что США, как сопредседательствующая в Минской группе ОБСЕ страна, выступает против любых действий, которые могут пошатнуть хрупкий мир в регионе. Мы ожидаем объяснений от Будапешта и Баку и будем последовательными в направлении их получения> - заявил посол.

Отметим, что ранее Вашингтон выразил свою глубокую озабоченность в связи с экстрадицией из Венгрии и помилованием в Азербайджане убийцы армянского офицера Гургена Маркаряна Рамиля Сафарова, который венгерским судом был приговорен к пожизненному заключению.

EU leaders call on Trump to include Ukraine in summit with Putin

European Union leaders have appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump to defend their security interests at a summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday 15 August over the war in Ukraine. EU leaders are doing their best to exert some influence over the summit that they have been sidelined from. It remains unclear whether even Ukraine will take part but EU leaders underlined that “the path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine.” According to AP, Trump has said that he wants to see whether Putin is serious about ending the war now in its fourth year. In a statement on Tuesday 12 August, EU leaders said that they “welcome the efforts of President Trump towards ending Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.” The European Union will make a fresh attempt to rally Trump to Ukraine’s cause on Wednesday at virtual meetings convened by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Trump did not confirm whether he would take part, but he stated: “I’m going to get everybody’s ideas” before meeting with Putin.
