Турецкие и азербайджанские ВВС приступили к совместным тактическим учениям под названием "Сокол Тураз 2015".

Истребители Mиг-29, F-16, бомбардировщики Су-25, F-4E, военно-транспортные самолеты C-130 Herkules, боевые самолеты Ми-35, Ми-17 и транспортно-боевые самолеты Sikorski UH-60, поисково-спасательные вертолеты Cougar AS532 и также другая авиатехника примут участие в учениях, которые начались в субботу (22 августа) и продлятся до 18 сентября.

В заявлении Министерства обороны Азербайджана сказано, что учения являются частью годового плана сотрудничества между министерствами обороны двух стран. Турция имеет одну из крупнейших военно-воздушных сил в регионе, которые насчитывают около 668 пилотируемых военных самолетов и 60,000 военнослужащих. В её рядах самые последние модели американской военной авиации. ВВС Азербайджана гораздо меньше, и в основном использует российскую технику, в том числе МиГ-29.

European States "disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia"

A number of European states have said that they are "disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia". In a Joint statement of 11 July 2025 the Foreign Ministers of Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the High Representative of the European Union commented on recent developments in Georgia We, the Foreign Ministers of European democracies, are disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia. We strongly condemn the recent, politically motivated, imprisonment and detention of the leaders of Georgian opposition, clearly designed to stifle political opposition in Georgia, a few months ahead of the local elections. Their detention, as well as arbitrary arrests and increasing repression of other Georgian authorities` critics, representatives of civil society, peaceful protesters and independent journalists, contribute to dismantling of democracy in Georgia and rapid transformation towards an authoritarian system, in contradiction to European norms and values. Recent legislative changes aim at stifling independent civil society and legitimate protest.
