ЕС, Великобритания, Швеция и Германия поддержат Армению в проведении досрочных парламентских выборов

Международное сообщество поможет Армении в организации досрочных парламентских выборов. Выборы рассматриваются в качестве определяющего момента для страны - возможность не только закрепить важные перемены, которые произошли в стране в последние месяцы, но и наметить следующие шаги вперед.

Европейский союз, Великобритания, Швеция и Германия взяли на себя обязательство по предоставлению ресурсов для проведения выборов на высшем уровне. Во вторник (13 ноября) заместитель премьер-министра Армении Арарат Мирзоян, глава миссии ЕС в Армении Петр Свитальский, посол Германии в Армении Маттиас Кислер, посол Великобритании в Армении Джудит Фарнуорт, временный поверенный в делах США, координатор-резидент ООН и постоянный представитель ПРООН в Армении Шомби Шарп подписали документ, в котором официально объявляется о запуске программы поддержки ПРООН избирательного процесса.

"Это наша общая задача, чтобы голоса населения Армении были подсчитаны, и, чтобы ничей голос не был похищен", - сказал в среду журналистам представитель делегации ЕС в Армении посол Петр Свитальски. Он сказал, что предстоящие парламентские выборы должны быть лучшими в Армении.

Посол ЕС в Армении Петр Свитальский призвал граждан Армении не продавать свои голоса, и сообщить, если им предложат купить их голоса, и не позволять, чтобы административные ресурсы использовались против них.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
