Число международных наблюдателей в зоне карабахского конфликта увеличится на семь

Российский сопредседатель Минского процесса ОБСЕ подтвердил, что число международных наблюдателей в зоне карабахского конфликта скоро увеличится на семь человек. Игорь Попов сообщил агентству АПА, что министры иностранных дел Армении и Азербайджана договорились об этом на прошлой неделе на встрече в Кракове, но пока еще необходимо проработать некоторые детали.

"В ходе встречи глав МИД Азербайджана и Армении в Кракове обсуждались вопросы, связанные со снижением военных рисков, включая расширение миссии наблюдателей ОБСЕ в зоне конфликта", - сообщил сопредседатель. "Министры дали принципиальное согласие на подготовленный посредниками документ, регламентирующий деятельность дополнительных семи наблюдателей. Остались некоторые технические детали, которые ещё предстоит согласовать. Прежде чем будет запущен механизм расширения", - подчеркнул Игорь Попов.

Российский сопредседатель также сказал, что на переговорах также было продолжено обсуждение наиболее сложных аспектов НКУ, препятствующих процессу урегулирования. "Они не новые, не раз озвучивались сторонами и связаны с решением статусных вопросов и урегулированием территориальной проблемы."

Campaign "Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025" launched

Campaign "Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025" launched

LINKS Europe is pleased to announce the launch of the campaign Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025. This will be the fourth Landmine Free South Caucasus campaign that LINKS Europe is co-ordinating since 2019, and like previous editions, the campaign will be regional, involving Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, and will have five official languages: Armenian, Azerbaijani, Georgian, Russian and English. LINKS Europe will work with stakeholders in the three countries in the delivery of the campaign. The campaign will run from 1 September to 15 December. The first part, from 1 September to 15 November, will be largely informative, using media and social media, whilst engaging with decision makers and civil society in the three countries. In the second part of the campaign, from 15 November to 15 December, the focus this year will be on the human and economic costs of landmine contamination. The Campaign will again mark 30 November as the Day of Solidarity with the victims of landmines and other remnants of war in the South Caucasus. A spokesperson for LINKS Europe said this year the campaign takes special significance following the progress in the Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Process and the historic meeting between the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders, together with the US president in the White House on 8 August. For six years, between 2018-2024, LINKS Europe worked on landmine issues in a very difficult political context, but always insisted that a regional approach was necessary for successful mine action in the South Caucasus. It consistently held that mine action could serve as a confidence-building measure in the region. Landmine Free South Caucasus 2025 will again push these ideas, but the context has changed, and the chance of success is now higher.
