Политолог:

Принятие Сенатом Национальной Ассамблеи Франции законопроекта о криминализации отрицания Геноцида армян продемонстрировало, что европейское сообщество в лице Франции пересматривает свою позицию в отношении Анкары. Подобное мнение сегодня на пресс-конференции в Ереване выразил председатель общественной организации \"Европейская интеграция\", политолог Карен Бекарян.

По его словам, европейцы до сегодняшнего дня имели несколько туманное представление о сущности политики Турции, об этом косвенно свидетельствуют выступления некоторых французских депутатов в ходе обсуждений законопроекта, где красной нитью проходила мысль о том, какое отношение вообще имеет данный законопроект к Турции. \"Европейское сообщество, не имея активных контактов с Турцией, до сих пор не знало, что этот кандидат в члены ЕС в своей внешней политике опирается на шантаж и угрозы в отношении соседей, что Турция до сих пор не отказалась от своих агрессивных устремлений. Однако сегодня они постепенно начинают понимать всю опасность действий в угоду Анкары. В частности, то для чего в Армении дислоцируется российская военная база. Должен сказать, что к принятию законопроекта Францию, собственно, во многом подтолкнула сама Турция, своей истерикой и своими угрозами. Европейцы просто поняли, с кем имеют дело\", - отметил Бекарян.

23 января Сенат Национальной Ассамблеи Франции вынес решение о криминализации отрицания Геноцида армян. Согласно новому закону, отрицание Геноцида армян будет преследоваться в уголовном порядке. Закон, за принятие которого в Сенате проголосовало \"за\" 127, а \"против\" - 86  сенаторов, предусматривает наказание в виде года тюремного заключения и штрафа в размере 45 тысяч евро за отрицание Геноцидов, в том числе Геноцида армян. Автором законопроекта является депутат от правящей партии \"Союз за народное движение\" Валери Буайе.

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

Borrell underlined that the European Union will make every effort to support the peace process and to remain a committed partner to the Afghan people.

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.
