Представитель ОБСЕ по свободе СМИ:

По случаю 5-ой годовщины убийства Гранта Динка представитель ОБСЕ по свободе СМИ Дуния Миатович призвала страны-члены ОБСЕ прилагать больше усилий для защиты журналистов и для наказания их убийц. Об этом говорится в сообщении, поступавшем в АрмИнфо из штаб-квартиры ОБСЕ.

“Недавний вердикт суда показывает, что даже спустя пять лет после убийства Динка, справедливость не восторжествовала. Если зачинщики насилия против журналистов не будут наказаны - это пошлет ужасный сигнал в общество о том, что такие преступления могут оставаться безнаказанными», - подчеркнула Миатович. Она добавила, что правительство не только обязано громогласно и решительно осудить насилие против журналистов, но также гарантировать, чтобы эти преступления были расследованы по всей строгости закона.

“Я продолжаю следить за делом Гранта Динка и за всеми делами в регионе ОБСЕ, где журналисты были убиты за свою профессиональную деятельность», - заявила представитель по свободе СМИ.
Турецкий журналист армянского происхождения Грант Динк, главный редактор стамбульской газеты «Акос», был убит 19 января 2007 г. Исполнитель убийства, Огюн Самаст, был осужден на 21 год 6 месяцев за умышленное убийство и 1 год 4 месяца за незаконное хранение оружия.

Отметим, 17 января Стамбульский суд по тяжким преступлениям приговорил организатора убийства Динка - Ясина Халала, к пожизненному заключению. Другой обвиняемый, Эрхан Тунджел, был признан невиновным по делу об убийстве, однако осужден на 10 лет 6 месяцев за организацию взрыва в McDonald’s-е. Однако после этого суд вынес решение о его освобождении, учитывая срок, уже проведенный им в заключении, пока длилось разбирательство. В свою очередь, заместитель генерального прокурора Стамбула Фикрет Сечен заявил, что вердикт суда по делу об убийстве Гранта Динка будет обжалован.

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.
