ЕС: "Омраченные" выборы "отражают общую волю армянского народа"

Европейский Союз опубликовал заявление по результатам парламентских выборов, состоявшихся в Армении 2 апреля. В заявлении, распространенном пресс-секретарем Европейской службы внешних действий, говорится:

2 апреля в Армении состоялись парламентские выборы. Согласно предварительным выводам Международной миссии по наблюдению за выборами, выборы были организованны хорошо и основные свободы, в целом, были соблюдены. Однако, выборы были омрачены достоверной информацией о подкупе голосов и давлении на государственных служащих и сотрудников частных компаний, что способствовало общему росту недоверия среди общественности и недоверия к самим выборам. Результат выборов, тем не менее, отражает общую волю армянского народа.

Несмотря на то, что беспрецедентному числу международных и национальных наблюдателей была предоставлена благоприятная среда для осуществления своей работы, международные неправительственные организации не были приглашены наблюдать за ними, что противоречит Копенгагенскому документу ОБСЕ от 1990 года. Международная миссия по наблюдению за выборами приветствовала внедрение новых технологий, которые Европейский Союз поддержал в рамках проекта, успешно реализованного вместе с властями Армении, а также реформ правовой базы. Несмотря на некоторые незначительные технические проблемы, наблюдателями было зарегистрировано меньшее количество нарушений в ходе заполнения бюллетеней, меньше фактов повторного голосования, меньше нарушений в ходе подсчета и сводки результатов.

Европейский Союз привержен стабильному, демократическому и процветающему будущему Армении. Как только избирательный процесс будет завершен, мы надеемся на сотрудничество с демократически избранным новым парламентом и правительством для укрепления нашего политического диалога и продолжения нашей поддержки экономических и социальных реформ, в том числе на основе недавно инициированного Всеобъемлющего и расширенного партнерства ЕС-Армения и в более широких рамках пересмотренной Европейской политики соседства и Восточного партнерства.

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.
