Протесты в Тбилиси из-за принятого накануне судебного решения

Протестующие в Тбилиси призывают к отставке премьер-министра и его правительства на фоне обвинений в прикрытии по делу об убийстве двух подростков в Тбилиси в декабре прошлого года, в ходе произошедшего инцидента на улице Хорава.

Отец одного из убитых подростков настоял на том, что расследование дела велось неправильно и, что власти пытались прикрыть сына бывшего сотрудника прокуратуры, который был замешан в убийстве. Постановление суда в четверг, похоже, подвергло сомнению повествование правительства о событиях.

Позже в четверг, главный прокурор Грузии Ираклий Шотадзе подал в отставку. Шотадзе выступил с заявлением, в котором говорится, что прокуратура сделала все возможное, чтобы привлечь виновных к ответственности.

Вечером на проспекте Руставели собралась большая масса людей. Первоначально протестующие призывали к отставке генерального прокурора, но позже их требования расширились, и они начали призывать к отставке всего правительства.

Премьер-министр Грузии Георгий Квирикашвили поздно вечером в четверг попытался обратиться к участникам акции протеста, но ему не позволили этого сделать, освистав его. В ходе вечерней пресс-конференции Квирикашвили объявил, что он возвращает расследование дела в Министерство внутренних дел и пообещал широкие общественные консультации по выбору нового генерального прокурора.

Протестующие заявили, что в пятницу днем соберутся на большой митинг.

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.
