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.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative.

The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
