Азербайджан и Турция отметили 100-летие освобождения Баку совместным военным парадом

В Баку, в субботу (15 сентября) состоялся символический военный парад с участием азербайджанских и турецких войск в ознаменование 100-летия освобождения города Каспийской исламской армией и элементов из зарождающейся азербайджанской армии от большевистского контроля в 1918 году.

В мероприятии приняли участие президент Азербайджана Ильхам Алиев и президент Турции Реджеп Тайип Эрдоган. Оба президента выступили на параде, ссылаясь на превосходный уровень нынешних азербайджано-турецких отношений и приветствуя дух братства между двумя странами.

Азербайджанские СМИ широко освещали это событие. Агентство Trend News, близкое к правительству, сообщило:

"Освобождение Баку - это событие, имеющее исключительное значение для азербайджано-турецкой дружбы и братства.

Несмотря на то, что за 70 лет Советской власти это событие было целенаправленно изложено в ошибочном контексте, азербайджанский народ никогда не забывал героизм турецких солдат».

В опубликованной статье агентство напомнило, что около восьми тысяч оттоманских солдат и до семи тысяч местных азербайджанских войск собрались для участия в решительном наступлении за освобождение Баку в сентябре 1918 года, что привело к изгнанию большевистского правительства и "бакинских комиссаров".

Как сообщает агентство, "15 сентября в Гяндже в первом номере газеты "Азербайджан" были опубликованы новости об освобождении Баку: "Телеграмма командующего Кавказской исламской армией Нуру Паши Азербайджанской Демократической Республики. 15 сентября 1918 года город Баку был освобожден частями нашей героической армии".

"После освобождения Баку Кавказской исламской армией 17 сентября правительство Азербайджанской Демократической Республики перебралось из Гянджи в Баку, и затем в Азербайджане начинается основной этап государственного строительства".

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.
