Первые комментарии министров после встреч в Москве

Министры иностранных дел Армении и Азербайджана коротко прокомментировали текущее состояние переговоров по урегулированию карабахского конфликта. Это первые комментарии министров двух стран после их совместной встречи с министром иностранных дел России, Сергеем Лавровым, в Москве, 28 апреля 2017 года.

Веб-портал "Новости Армении - News.am" приводит слова министра иностранных дел Армении, Эдварда Налбандяна, который сказал, что "азербайджанцы идут на провокации, но альтернативы переговорам нет". Министр подтвердил, что сопредседатели Минского процесса ОБСЕ, вероятно, посетят регион в течение ближайших недель и, что после этого может последовать встреча между представителями Армении и Азербайджана.

Со своей стороны министр иностранных дел Азербайджана, Эльмар Мамедъяров, заявил, что встреча министров иностранных дел двух стран "в принципе встреча возможна". "Следуя логике встречи в Москве министров иностранных дел трех стран у меня сложилось такое впечатление, что вывод войск взамен на мир или территории взамен на мир возможно. Это логика всего переговорного процесса за последние 12 лет. Но в дипломатии переговоры ради переговоров не существуют. Уже всем ясно, что Армения должна вывести свои войска с оккупированных территорий Азербайджана", - цитирует министра информационное агентство АПА.

Тем временем, стороны обменялись взаимными обвинениями в нарушении режима прекращения огня прошлой ночью. В воскресенье, министр обороны Армении заявил армянским СМИ, что накануне вечером ситуация на линии соприкосновения была напряженной и обвинил азербайджанскую сторону в использовании тяжелого вооружения, но, по его же словам, ситуация была под контролем.

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.
