Вазген Сафарян:

Членство в Евразийском союзе позволит Армении окончательно разрешить карабахскую проблему. Подобное мнение выразил сегодня журналистам глава Союза отечественных товаропроизводителей Армении Вазген Сафарян.

"Думаю, что Армения должна стать членом ЕАС не раньше и не позже того, когда это понадобиться в целях продвижения наших национальных интересов. В 20-е годы прошлого века мы уже один раз допустили ошибку, вовремя не став членом СССР, в результате чего потеряли часть своей территории. И сегодня нам не следует повторять ошибки прошлого и закрепить за собой то, что мы сегодня имеем", - заметил он.

По мнению Сафаряна, в случае ЕАС речь никоим образом не идет о воссоздании СССР, и весь проект, вся идея сводятся к более тесной экономической интеграции стран постоветского пространства. В случае Армении, по его словам, членство в ЕАС насущная необходимость, учитывая тесные связи республики с РФ, а также то, что в этом случае Армения выйдет на 160-170 миллионный рынок России, Беларуси и Казахстана. "Мы уже присоединились к соглашению о зоне свободной торговли в рамках СНГ, подписав 18 октября в Санкт-Петербурге соответствующий договор и сейчас внимательно наблюдаем за развитиями вокруг декларации о евразийской экономической интеграции с целью дальнейшей интеграции в эти проекты", - подытожил Сафарян.

Проект Евразийского Союза предполагает создание союза независимых государств с единым политическим, экономическим, военным, таможенным, гуманитарным и культурным пространством. Президенты России, Белоруссии и Казахстана Дмитрий Медведев, Нурсултан Назарбаев и Александр Лукашенко 18 ноября в Москве подписали декларацию о евразийской экономической интеграции - "дорожную карту" интеграционного процесса, конечной целью которого провозглашается создание Евразийского экономического союза.

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.
