В Вашингтоне состоялась встреча Саакяна с конгрессменами США

Президент самопровозглашенной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики (НКР) Бако Саакян завершил свой визит в Вашингтон, где он встретился с несколькими членами Конгресса США. Однако в ходе его визита не было никаких встреч или контактов ни с Белым домом, ни с Государственным департаментом.

Тридцать семь членов Палаты представителей США подписали заявление, в котором содержится призыв к Конгрессу вернуть пакет помощи в размере $70 млн. для Армении и Нагорного Карабаха на финансовый 2019 год.

Нагорно-Карабахская Республика не признана ни одним государством мира, а правительство Азербайджана осудило этот визит.

В блоге журнала The National Interest, в ответ на более ранний взгляд бывшего посла США в Армении Джона Эванса, Фархад Мамедов, директор аналитического центра правительства Азербайджана, Центр стратигических исследований (SAM) оспорил призыв отставного посла Эванса за более активное участие США в Нагорном Карабахе. В своей статье Фархад Мамедов говорит:

"Соединенные Штаты до сих пор поддерживали суверенитет и территориальную целостность Азербайджана в пределах своих международно признанных границ. Азербайджан, как светская мусульманская страна, всегда была надежным партнером Соединенных Штатов в борьбе с международным терроризмом и поддержкой миссии США в Афганистане. Азербайджан также стал надежной платформой для международных переговоров, в том числе для диалога между российскими и американскими военными. Кроме того, вкладом Азербайджана в энергетическую безопасность европейских союзников Соединенных Штатов является неоспоримой реальностью.

Визит Бако Саакяна в Вашингтон подрывает подход Соединенных Штатов (как сопредседателя Минской группы ОБСЕ) к мирному урегулированию нагорно-карабахского конфликта и наносят ущерб дружеским отношениям между США и Азербайджаном".

"Of course, we will have to take into account the evolving situation, but disengagement is not an option.  We are clear on that: there is no alternative to a negotiated political settlement, through inclusive peace talks.

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.
