Палата представителей Массачусетса приняла резолюцию по признанию суверенитета Нагорного Карабаха

Палата представителей американского штата Массачусетс 6 августа приняла резолюцию по признанию независимости Нагорного Карабаха.

Как сообщили АрмИнфо в представительстве Нагорного Карабаха в США, в документе, представленном членом Палаты Джонатаном Хетчем, в частности, содержится призыв к президенту США Бараку Обаме и Конгрессу поддержать суверенитет и независимость Нагорно-Карабахской Республики.

Резолюция осуждает резню армян в азербайджанских городах Сумгаит, Кировабад, Баку. В документе подчеркивается, что своими антиармянскими действиями Азербайджан и в настоящее время продолжает угрожать безопасности НКР. Резолюция также высоко оценивает волю карабахского народа, который, несмотря на продолжающиеся насилия со стороны Азербайджана, 10 декабря 1991 года на референдуме проголосовали за независимость, свободу и демократию НКР. В документе также высоко оцениваются демократические достижения в НКР, свидетельством чему стали очередные президентские выборы в республике 19 июля 2012 года.

В этой связи постоянный представитель НКР в США Роберт Аветисян отметил, что принятие резолюции свидетельствует о том, что законодатели Массачусетса поощряют соблюдение всеобщих прав и свобод человека.

EU leaders call on Trump to include Ukraine in summit with Putin

European Union leaders have appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump to defend their security interests at a summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday 15 August over the war in Ukraine. EU leaders are doing their best to exert some influence over the summit that they have been sidelined from. It remains unclear whether even Ukraine will take part but EU leaders underlined that “the path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine.” According to AP, Trump has said that he wants to see whether Putin is serious about ending the war now in its fourth year. In a statement on Tuesday 12 August, EU leaders said that they “welcome the efforts of President Trump towards ending Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.” The European Union will make a fresh attempt to rally Trump to Ukraine’s cause on Wednesday at virtual meetings convened by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Trump did not confirm whether he would take part, but he stated: “I’m going to get everybody’s ideas” before meeting with Putin.
