Заявление ЕС по поводу президентских выборов в Азербайджане

Европейский Cоюз опубликовал заявление о президентских выборах, прошедших на этой неделе в Азербайджане. В заявлении, опубликованном представителем Верховного представителя и размещенном на веб-сайте Европейской службы внешних действий, говорится:

11 апреля 2018 года в Республике Азербайджан состоялись досрочные президентские выборы. По их итогам президент Ильхам Алиев был переизбран на четвертый срок полномочий.

Как отметила Миссия ОБСЕ / БДИПЧ по наблюдению за выборами (МНВ), власти Азербайджана проявили позитивное отношение к международным наблюдателям, которые смогли свободно работать, что является конструктивным шагом.

Согласно МНВ, выборы проходили в ограниченной политической обстановке и в соответствии с законами, которые ограничивают основные права и свободы, включая свободу собраний, выражения мнений и средства массовой информации. В день выборов наблюдатели сообщили о широко распространенном пренебрежении к обязательным процедурам, отсутствии транспарентности и многочисленных серьезных нарушениях.

Европейский Союз ожидает, что власти Азербайджана примут к сведению и реализуют рекомендации БДИПЧ / ОБСЕ в отношении этих и предыдущих выборов. ЕС готов помочь в этом процессе.

ЕС надеется на продолжение диалога и тесного сотрудничества с Азербайджаном, в том числе с целью решения фундаментальных вопросов демократии и прав человека в течение возобновленного срока полномочий президента на благо народа Азербайджана и отношений между ЕС и Азербайджаном.

Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees released as Trump’s Gaza plan is endorsed in Egypt summit

Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees released as Trump’s Gaza plan is endorsed in Egypt summit

Hamas freed the last living Israeli hostages from Gaza on Monday 13 October under a ceasefire deal and Israel sent home busloads of Palestinian detainees, as U.S. President Donald Trump declared the end of the two-year long war in the Middle East. Hours later, Trump convened Muslim and European leaders in Egypt to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip and the possibility of a wider regional peace, even as Hamas and Israel, both absent from the gathering, are yet to agree on the next steps. The Israeli military said it had received all 20 hostages confirmed to be alive, after their transfer form Gaza by the Red Cross. The announcement prompted cheering, hugging and weeping among thousands waiting at "Hostage Square" in Tel Aviv. In Gaza, thousands of relatives, many weeping with joy, gathered at a hospital where buses brought home some of the nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees to be freed by Israel as part of the accord. "The skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still and the sun rises on a Holy Land that is finally at peace," Trump told the Knesset, Israel's parliament, saying a "long nightmare" for both Israelis and Palestinians was over.
