Спикер Государственной Думы России заявил армянским парламентариям, что санкции запада это шантаж.

Спикер Государственной Думы, нижней палаты парламента Российской Федерации, Сергей Нарышкин, набросился с критикой в адрес санкций, наложенных на его страну за её роль в кризисе в Украине, во время выступления перед армянскими коллегами в Ереване.

Российское информагенство ИТАР-ТАСС сообщило, что Нарышкин заявил парламентариям, что Россия не боится никаких санкций и квалифицирует их как экономический и политический шантаж. Санкции "не имеют никакой правовой основы", сказал спикер, обращаясь к Национальному Собранию Армении. "Если называть вещи своими именами, это политический и экономический шантаж," заявил спикер Госдумы. "Но они [те страны, которые ввели санкции против России] не смогут ничего добиться", сказал спикер.

В Ереване Нарышкин встретился с президентом Армении Сержем Саргсяном. Пресс-служба президента Армении сообщила, что президент и гость из России обсудили "вопросы, связанные с безопасностью и стабильностью на Южном Кавказе". Визит прошел на фоне растущей обеспокоенности в Армении по поводу поставок российской военной техники в Азербайджан. И президент и члены парламента Армении в последние недели выражали тихую критику в адрес России по этому поводу. Критика в адрес России звучит редко среди политической элиты Армении, и эта критика отражает высокую степень разочарования в этом аспекте российской политики.

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.
