Посол США в Азербайджане: Важно, чтобы Армения и Азербайджан продолжили переговоры в рамках МГ ОБСЕ и нашли мирное решение конфликта

Важно, чтобы Армения и Азербайджан продолжили переговоры в рамках Минской группы ОБСЕ и нашли мирное решение конфликта. Как страна-сопредседатель Минской группы США продолжат усилия для нахождения такого решения. Об этом 10 сентября в Баку заявил посол США в Азербайджане Ричард Морнингстар.

При этом он подчеркнул, что не верит в вероятность новой войны между Арменией и Азербайджаном за Нагорный Карабах. "Надеюсь, что мирный процесс по урегулированию нагорно-карабахского конфликта продолжится, несмотря на обострение ситуации в регионе в последние недели",- заявил посол.

Морнингстар также отметил, что полностью поддерживает позицию Госдепартамента США и Белого дома относительно дела  Рамиля Сафарова.

"Помилование не способствует снижению напряженности в регионе, а напротив, создает препятствие для налаживания контактов", - резюмировал посол.

Напомним, что 31 августа венгерские власти экстрадировали азербайджанского убийцы Рамиля Сафарова на родину, где он был помилован президентом Азербайджана, более того, он был повышен в звании и чуть ли не объявлен национальным героем.  В связи с экстрадицией Сафарова Армения приостановила дипломатические отношения и все официальные связи с Венгрией.  19 февраля 2004 года лейтенант армянской армии Гурген Маргарян, в спящем состоянии был зверски зарублен топором азербайджанским офицером Рамилем Сафаровым. 13 апреля 2006 года суд первой инстанции Будапешта приговорил Сафарова к пожизненному заключению без права на помилование в течение 30 лет.

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.
