Питер Семнеби: Европа должна предпринять серьезные усилия по урегулированию карабахского конфликта

Европа должна предпринять серьезные усилия по урегулированию нагорно-карабахского конфликта мирным путем. Об этом в интервью радиостанции "Азатутюн" заявил бывший специальный представитель Евросоюза на Южном Кавказе, ныне посол Швеции в Афганистане Питер Семнеби.

По его словам велик риск того, что любой инцидент может вывести ситуацию из-под контроля. "Мы видим такие инциденты, которые могут способствовать увеличению напряженности. Конечно же, это должно волновать в первую очередь сами стороны конфликта, но международным партнерам также следует принимать во внимание данное положение дел, так как если в Карабахе что-то случится, последствия будут влиять также и на страны ЕС", - отметил он. При этом Семнеби заметил, что нагорно-карабахский конфликт приближается к порогу недопустимой напряженности.

"Мой основной посыл заключается в следующем: чем дальше, тем ниже опускается порог допустимого насилия, которое уже дошло до недопустимых пределов. Сейчас ситуация довольно ухудшилась по сравнению с тем, что было несколько лет назад, риск гораздо выше. Как тогда, когда я был специальным представителем, так и сейчас моя основная идея и призыв Европе заключается в следующем: это конфликт, который следует принимать всерьез", - отметил Семнеби участвующий в семинаре швейцарско-кавказской академической сети в Стамбуле.

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

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.
