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.

Borrell tells the European Parliament that the situation in Afghanistan was critical, but the EU will remain engaged

Borrell underlined that the European Union will make every effort to support the peace process and to remain a committed partner to the Afghan people. "Of course, we will have to take into account the evolving situation, but disengagement is not an option.  We are clear on that: there is no alternative to a negotiated political settlement, through inclusive peace talks.

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.
