Рост напряженности в Восточном Средиземноморье

В регионе Восточного Средиземноморья усилилась напряженность после заявления Турции о том, что турецкое судно Oruç Reis проведет сейсмические исследования в этом районе в течение следующих двух недель. Объявление, сделанное ВМС Турции в выходные, вызывает большую озабоченность в Греции, а также в кругах ЕС.

Сейсморазведочные работы являются частью подготовительных работ к потенциальной разведке углеводородов. В настоящее время Турция ведет спор с соседними странами по поводу морских границ.

В кратком заявлении, опубликованном в Брюсселе в воскресенье вечером (9 августа), глава внешнеполитического ведомства ЕС Джозеп Боррелл сказал: "Последние военно-морские мобилизации в Восточном Средиземноморье вызывают крайнее беспокойство. Они не будут способствовать поиску каких-либо решений. Напротив, они приведут к большему антагонизму и недоверие".

Боррелл добавил:

"Морские границы должны определяться путем диалога и переговоров, а не путем односторонних действий и мобилизации военно-морских сил. Споры должны решаться в соответствии с международным правом. Европейский Союз привержен делу содействия разрешению таких споров и разногласий в этой области жизненно важных интересов безопасности. В качестве Верховного представителя ЕС по общей внешней политике и политике безопасности я приложу все необходимые усилия для возобновления такого диалога и содействия возобновлению взаимодействия. Настоящий курс действий не будет служить интересам ни Европейского Союза, ни Турции. Мы должны работать вместе во имя безопасности в Средиземном море".

Borrell tells the European Parliament that the situation in Afghanistan was critical, but the EU will remain engaged

Borrell underlined that the European Union will make every effort to support the peace process and to remain a committed partner to the Afghan people.

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.
