Трое армянских военнослужащих погибли в результате обстрела со стороны Азербайджана

Трое военнослужащих Министерства обороны Армении погибли в результате нарушения режима прекращения огня азербайджанской стороной в направлении Тавушской области армяно-азербайджанской границы.


Как сообщили в пресс-службе Минобороны Армении, инцидент произошел 27 апреля в 04:15 ч. вблизи сел Мовсес и Айгепар. Азербайджанская сторона обстреляла автомобиль "ВАЗ 2107", в котором находились военнослужащие. Двое военнослужащих контрактной службы скончались на месте, один - по дороге в больницу.


В следственной службе Минобороны возбуждено уголовное дело по п. 1-му и 6-му ч. 2-ой ст. 104-ой УК РА (убийство двух или более лиц при осуществлении служебной деятельности).


В связи с фактами нарушения режима прекращения огня азербайджанской стороной Министерство иностранных дел Армении обратилось к личному представителю действующего председателя ОБСЕ Анджею Каспршику с тем, чтобы были посланы эксперты для ознакомления с ситуацией на месте.


Напомним, что еще один инцидент был зафиксирован 25 апреля. В частности, обстрелу подверглись оборонительные позиции армянской армии у села Довех в Тавушской области, пули также свистели в направлении села. Был обстрелян также детский сад. В этой связи дети и работники воспитательного учреждения были эвакуированы, пострадавших нет. В результате оперативных мер предпринятых армянскими военными огневые точки противника были подавлены.


Кроме того, 24 апреля противник из крупнокалиберной снайперской винтовки "Истиглал" обстрелял санитарную машину Армии Обороны НКР, в результате чего были ранены военнослужащие Андраник Мадоян и Эрнест Саркисян.

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

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. 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. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. 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.
