Представители гражданского сектора Арцаха

Общественный совет по внешней политике и безопасности Нагорного Карабаха и Нагорно-Карабахский комитет "Хельсинкская инициатива-92" организовали дискуссии на тему "Демократия и миротворчество в контексте нагорно-карабахского конфликта".

Как сообщает собкор АрмИнфо в Степанакерте, в частности, была обсуждена тема:  "Карабахское движение - результат демократических преобразований в СССР и начало пути демократического решения карабахской проблемы". Было отмечено стремление карабахского народа решить проблему исключительно мирными средствами. "Процесс мирного решения сопровождался попытками азербайджанской стороны решить проблему силовым путем. Одновременно на фоне войны и переговоров по политическому урегулированию конфликта в Нагорном Карабахе происходило формирование гражданского общества. Инициативы гражданского сектора подтолкнули власти на определенные шаги, в частности, по решению гуманитарных вопросов: военнопленных, заложников, без вести пропавших и т.д", - отметил координатор НК комитета "Хельсинкская инициатива-92"  Карен Оганджанян. По его мнению, в период войны миротворческий процесс был более демократичным.

Активный участник карабахского движения, первый командующий Силами самообороны НКР Аркадий Карапетян в свою очередь заметил, что в первые годы освободительного движения, в 1988-1991 г.г., в Нагорном Карабахе была "лучшая в мире демократия", отметив при этом, что демократия нужна властям в не меньшей степени, чем народу.  Говоря о проведении референдума о независимости НКР в декабре 1991 года, участники дискуссий отметили, что были соблюдены демократические процедуры, в частности, на голосование были приглашены и азербайджанцы, проживавшие в Нагорном Карабахе, которые, однако, не воспользовались своим правом участия в решении дальнейшей судьбы края. Особой темой обсуждений стала послевоенная реабилитация и строительство демократических институтов в НКР. Участники дискуссий остановились как на достижениях, так и проблемах и недостатках. Была отмечена безальтернативность демократического развития НКР.

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.
