В Лондоне отмечают 100-летие азербайджанской армии

В четверг, 21 июня, в Лондоне прошли празднования в ознаменование 100-летия со дня образования Вооруженных сил Азербайджана. На официальном приеме в отеле Jumeriah Carlton Towers приняли участие представители Великобритании, военные атташе посольств многих стран мира и другие. Гости были приглашены на прием послом Азербайджана в Лондоне г-ном Тахером Тагизаде и атташе по вопросам обороны в Лондоне полковником Вугаром Ахмадовым.

Выступая на мероприятии, министр обороны Великобритании Эрл Хоу приветствовал сотрудничество между Соединенным Королевством и Азербайджаном. Он высоко оценил военное участие Азербайджана в миротворческих миссиях в Ираке, Афганистане и других местах, где они тесно сотрудничали со своими британскими коллегами. Лорд Хоу воздал должное азербайджанским военнослужащим, которые воевали против фашизма и нацизма во Второй Мировой войне. Он также поздравил Азербайджан со 100-летием со дня его независимости и создания его вооруженных сил.

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.
