Кавказ готовится праздновать Новый год и Рождество

В Кавказский регион прибыл дух праздничного сезона, где главным праздником является Новый год, а Рождество отмечается официально только в Армении и Грузии, где он отмечается в начале января, согласно православному календарю. В центре празднований находится рождественская елка, которую в регионе все чаще называют «новогодней». Установка елки обычно знаменует собой конец политического года и начало короткого перерыва, когда основное внимание уделяется семье, друзьям и веселью.

Во всем регионе 2018 год был значительным годом с важными политическими и социальными событиями. В Армении больше чем где-либо год стал насыщенным событиями, где весеннее политическое потрясение, которое назвали «бархатной революцией», действительно стало концом эпохи. То, что произошло в Армении в 2018 году, будет оказывать влияние на страну и регион в течение многих лет.

Поэтому было уместно то, что премьер-министр Никол Пашинян в пятницу был на площади Республики Еревана, где были устроенны праздничные мероприятия, которые включали в себя концерт и фейерверк.

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.
