Россия ключ к решению карабахского конфликта - Меркель

Россия играет ключевую роль в решении нагорно-карабахского конфликта, заявила канцлер Германии Ангела Меркель на совместной пресс-конференции со своим азербайджанским коллегой.

Меркель, которая, как известно, поддерживает самые близкие отношения с Владимиром Путиным среди западных лидеров, вновь заявляет о поддержке Германией дипломатического урегулирования конфликта под эгидой Минской группы ОБСЕ. ОБСЕ в настоящее время возглавляет представитель Германии, Франк-Вальтер Штайнмайер.

"Россия, конечно же, будет играть ключевую роль в урегулировании нагорно-карабахского конфликта. Мы используем наши контакты для содействия российскому правительству, а также сопредседателям Минской группы (Франция и США) в урегулировании нагорно-карабахского конфликта", сказала Меркель.

Меркель и Алиев выступили на открытии бизнес-форума в Берлине. Алиев повторил её слова касательно России, заявив, что страна играет "очень конструктивную" роль в работе по урегулированию карабахского конфликта.

Россия поддерживает тесные связи и с Арменией, и с Азербайджаном, и поставляет оружие в обе страны. Тем не менее, в качестве союзника по Евразийскому экономическому союзу, Армения покупает вооружения по льготным ценам.

Меркель и Алиев также обсудили экономические реформы и попытки диверсифицировать и развивать ненефтяной сектор в Азербайджане.

Military parade to be held in Beijing as China and Russia reaffirm close ties

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States. Relations between China and Russia have deepened in recent years, particularly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
