Президент НКР находится с визитом в Вашингтоне

Президент самопровозглашенной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики Бако Саакян прибыл в Вашингтон, округ Колумбия, в рамках того, что было описано как «рабочий визит». Во вторник (13 марта) Бако Саакян посетил посольство Республики Армения в Вашингтоне и встретился с послом Армении в США Григором Ованнисяном и дипломатическим составом посольства. Был обсужден ряд вопросов, касающихся сотрудничества между США и Арменией и Нагорным Карабахом.

«Президент Саакян подчеркнул важность тесного сотрудничества между Арцахом, Арменией и Диаспорой, подчеркнув, что это один из важнейших факторов успешной реализации запланированных программ», - сообщается на сайте де-факто властей НКР.

Нагорно-Карабахская Республика не признана ни одним государством, и Вашингтонский визит Бако Саакяна подвергся критике со стороны Азербайджана.

В статье в журнале National Interest, опубликованной накануне визита, бывший посол США в Армении Джон Эванс сказал, что:

«На этой неделе президент Демократической Республики Арцах Бако Саакян посетит Вашингтон. Его не примут в администрации, отчасти потому, что Соединенные Штаты молчат по вопросу о том, должен ли Арцах в конечном итоге быть независимым от Азербайджана, которому он был передан Иосифом Сталиным в 1921 году. Вашингтон не признает Арцах - фактически, ни одна страна пока не делает этого, но предшественника президента Саакяна в ходе визитов в 1999 и 2002 годах, встречался с должностными лицами Государственного департамента на рабочем уровне, и есть неофициальный представитель Нагорного Карабаха / житель Арцаха в Вашингтоне. В ходе этого визита Саакян должен будет довольствоваться встречами на холме и частным обедом в Центре национальных интересов».

Бывший американский дипломат добавил:

«Настало время того, чтобы международное сообщество приветствовало Республику Нагорный Карабах - Арцах - в сообщество нации. Как недавно заявил заместитель министра иностранных дел Арцаха Армине Алексанян в Европейском Парламенте: «Карабах - это страна, а не конфликт». Народ Арцаха просто хочет жить своей жизнью в мире и свободе. Хотя статус Республики Арцах еще не окончательно определен, народ Арцаха обладает и должен пользоваться теми же правами, что и все остальные, и он не должен находится под карантином с остальным человечеством».

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
