Кнессет обсудит вопрос Геноцида армян

Израильский парламент обсудит вопрос Геноцида армян в течение декабря. Как сообщает портал IzRus, заседание комиссии Кнессета по образованию, культуре и спорту, посвященное проблеме признания Геноцида армян 1915 года в Османской империи перенесено на середину декабря. Согласно изданию, решение о передаче данного вопроса на рассмотрение этой комиссии было принято на пленарном заседании Кнессета в мае текущего года. Данное обсуждение в комиссии, возглавляемой депутатом от фракции "Наш дом Израиль" Алексом Миллером, планировалось на 5 декабря. Однако за четыре дня до того было принято решение отсрочить заседание на неделю-полторы.

Как пояснил порталу IzRus Алекс Миллер, причиной послужило желание спикера Кнессета Реувена Ривлина принять участие в этом заседании. Но 5 декабря он будет за границей. Поэтому Ривлин попросил инициаторов обсуждения этого вопроса на майском пленарном заседании Кнессета, депутатов Гальон (МЕРЕЦ) и Эльдада ("Ихуд леуми"), согласовать новую дату созыва комиссии по образованию, культуре и спорту по данному вопросу.

Миллер добавил, что в любом случае это заседание состоится в течение декабря. Новая дата будет определена, скорее всего, в начале следующей недели.

Геноцид армян 1915 года является первым геноцидом ХХ века. Турция традиционно отвергает обвинения в массовом истреблении около полутора миллиона армян в годы Первой мировой войны и крайне болезненно реагирует на критику со стороны Запада во вопросу армянского геноцида.

Факт Геноцида армян признан многими странами, в частности, Уругваем, Россией, Францией, Литвой, нижней палатой парламента Италии, большинством штатов США, парламентами Греции, Кипра, Аргентины, Бельгии, Уэльса, Швеции, Национальным Советом Швейцарии, Палатой общин парламента Канады и сеймом Польши. День памяти жертв Геноцида отмечается 24 апреля.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
