Посол Швейцарии в Армении:

“Мы убеждены, что должно быть сделано все возможное, чтобы путь диалога и сотрудничества, который Армения и Турция наметили в последние годы, продолжился”, - заявил в интервью АрмИнфо посол Швейцарии в Армении Константин Оболенский (Konstantin Obolensky).

Говоря о том, что стороны проявили большую долю храбрости для налаживания диалога, посол подчеркнул: “Мы надеемся, что процесс нормализации между двумя странами будет продолжен. Швейцария готова поддерживать этот процесс.

Кроме того, говоря о роли Швейцарии в конфликте между Россией и Грузией, посол отметил, что Швейцария участвуем в Женевских переговорах не напрямую. Он напомнил, что переговоры проходят под эгидой ООН, ЕС, ОБСЕ и США. “Это именно тот формат, в котором обсуждается возможное мирное урегулирование проблемы. Швейцария, однако, представляла интересы Грузии в России и наоборот, тогда, когда страны прервали свои отношения в сентябре 2008 года. Основная причина мандата страны-покровительницы – это гарантировать коммуникацию на дипломатическом уровне между Россией и Грузией”, - отметил посол.

The United States and Ukraine have signed a minerals deal after a two-month delay, in what President Donald Trump's administration called a new form of US commitment to Kyiv after the end of military aid. Ukraine said it secured key interests after protracted negotiations, including full sovereignty over its own rare earths, which are vital for new technologies and largely untapped. Trump had initially demanded rights to Ukraine's mineral wealth as compensation for US weapons sent under former president Joe Biden after Russia invaded just over three years ago.
