Азербайджан выражает возмущение из-за гибели мирных жителей на линии соприкосновения

Азербайджан выразил возмущение из-за гибели женщины и ее внучки в результате обстрела со стороны армянских сил на линии соприкосновения в Физулинском районе, во вторник вечером (4 июля). Обе стороны сообщают о серьезных нарушениях прекращения огня в этом районе в 20.30 по местному времени. Как сообщается, еще один мирный житель, мать погибшего ребенка, тяжело ранена.

Азербайджан сообщает, что жертвы стали результатом армянского обстрела села Аханлы, расположенного вблизи к линии соприкосновения армянских и азербайджанских войск. Обе стороны обвиняют друг друга в нарушениях прекращения огня, произошедших  в этом районе вчера вечером. Армения подтвердила, что она обстреляла этот район, заявив, что это было в ответ на предыдущие нарушения режима прекращения огня, имевшие место тем же вечером.

В своем заявлении глава пресс-службы МИД Азербайджана, Хикмет Гаджиев, обвинил армянские силы в преднамеренном нападении на гражданских лиц. Гаджиев сказал, что своими действиями Армения нарушила Женевскую конвенцию и другие нормативные акты международного права. Возмущение также выразили жители Аханлы и близлежащих населенных пунктов.

Со своей стороны армянские силы заявили, что они обстреляли район "для подавления действий противника", "вследствие чего ВС НКР подавили огневую точку в селе Алханлу", и обвинили Азербайджан в использовании гражданских лиц в качестве живого щита.

Этот инцидент подчеркивает возрастающую опасность для гражданского населения на линии соприкосновения Армянских и Азербайджанских сил, поскольку напряженность в зоне конфликта  продолжает увеличиваться в то время, как переговоры вокруг мирного урегулирования конфликта как представляется, зашли в тупик.

Uzbekistan calls for bigger voice for Central Asia in the UN

Uzbekistan calls for bigger voice for Central Asia in the UN

Uzbekistan called for a more effective and representative United Nations on September 23, as presidential administration chief Saida Mirziyoyeva used her address to the UN General Assembly to seek support for the country’s candidacy for a nonpermanent Security Council seat in 2035–2036. Speaking at the Assembly’s 81st session in New York, Mirziyoyeva argued that international cooperation remains necessary despite growing geopolitical divisions. She endorsed UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ UN80 reform initiative and called for an expanded Security Council, arguing that international rules should be applied consistently rather than according to the interests of powerful states. Uzbekistan’s planned chairmanship of the Non-Aligned Movement in 2027 was presented as another platform for promoting dialogue. Her emphasis on multilateralism also fits a broader Central Asian effort to increase the region’s role in international institutions. Kyrgyzstan, for example, will hold its first Security Council seat in 2027–2028. Mirziyoyeva also highlighted regional cooperation, pointing to improved relations among Central Asian states over longstanding border and water disputes. On Afghanistan, she urged countries not to view it solely as a security threat, stressing the importance of creating conditions for peaceful development. She linked Uzbekistan’s international agenda to domestic reforms, citing economic growth, falling poverty and expanded education. Climate and water security also featured prominently, with the Aral Sea serving as an example of the consequences of poor environmental management. (click image to read more)

Kazakhstan declares national day of mourning after tragedy

Kazakh president, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, declared September 25 a national day of mourning following the deaths of servicemen during military exercises in the Caspian Sea. Twelve Kazakh servicemen died after being swept into the Caspian Sea during the Khazar Qorgany–2026 naval exercises in the Mangystau region on Thursday (September 24). The incident occurred after weather conditions suddenly deteriorated and winds intensified during a combat training mission. In a Telegram post, the Ministry of Defence reported that 19 servicemen had been swept into the sea. So far, three have been rescued, one of whom was hospitalized, while 12 bodies have been recovered.  Search operations were continuing for the remaining four servicemen. A large-scale rescue and recovery effort has been launched, involving Kazakhstan’s Naval Forces, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, aviation assets and other relevant services.   Deputy Prime Minister Kanat Bozumbayev, who is leading a government commission at the scene, ordered a continuous, round-the-clock search for those still missing. Authorities were also instructed to provide financial and other assistance to the families of the deceased. (click image to read in full)

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Today, commonspace.eu starts a new regular weekly series. THURSDAY INTERVIEW, conducted by Lauri Nikulainen, will host  persons who are thinkers, opinion shapers, and implementors in their countries and spheres. We start the series with an interview with Murad Muradov, a leading person in Azerbaijan's think tank community. He is also the first co-chair of the Action Committee for a new Armenian-Azerbaijani Dialogue. Last September he made history by being the first Azerbaijani civil society activist to visit Armenia after the 44 day war, and the start of the peace process. Speaking about this visit Murad Muradov said: "My experience was largely positive. My negative expectations luckily didn’t play out. The discussions were respectful, the panel format bringing together experts from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey was particularly valuable during the NATO Rose-Roth Seminar in Yerevan, and media coverage, while varied in tone, remained largely constructive. Some media outlets though attempted to represent me as more of a government mouthpiece than an independent expert, which was totally misleading.  Overall, I see these initiatives as important steps in rebuilding trust and normalising professional engagement. The fact that soon a larger Azerbaijani civil society visits to Armenia followed, reinforces the sense that this process is moving in the right direction."
