Switalski; EU agrees with OSCE MG last statement on Karabakh settlement

Switalski; EU agrees with OSCE MG last statement on Karabakh  settlement

ArmInfo. EU agrees with the  previous statement of OSCE MG on Karabakh settlement issue, EU  delegation head in Armenia Piotr Switalski stated today while talking  to the journalists. 

"I think that from now on it is impossible to maintain the status quo  at Karabakh conflict zone , but the problem should be solved  exclusively in a peaceful way. Military resolution of the problem is  ruled out.  When the parties find a peaceful solution to the issue,  EU is ready to provide financial assistance in eliminating the  consequences of the war. But, once again, this is possible only in  case of a peaceful and final settlement of the conflict, "the  diplomat stressed.

To note, recently the  OSCE Minsk Group on  settlement of the  Nagorno- Karabakh conflict was first compelled to  recognize that the  source of tension on the line of confrontation  between the armed  forces of Azerbaijan and Artsakh is Baku. The statement of the co  chairs particularly reads: "According to information gathered from  several reliable sources, the  Azerbaijani armed forces fired a  missile strike on military equipment  on the opposite side of the  line of contact on May 15. From the  evening of May 16 until May 17,  the Armenian armed forces struck back  with mortars of various  calibers.  Both sides seriously violated the  ceasefire and are  alarming. There are conflicting reports about the  goals of these  recent attacks, as well as on the victims and the  damage done. The  Minsk Group and the Personal Representative of the  OSCE  Chairman-in-Office continue to collect additional data and   analytical materials in order to obtain more complete and accurate   information about the current situation.

The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs condemn these recent violations of the   cease-fire regime and urge the parties to take all necessary measures   to prevent further escalation of the conflict," the mediators said.

To note, on May 15, around 4:30 pm, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces  struck a missile attack (using the Israeli anti-tank missile   Spike-Ed.), as a result of which military equipment of the NKR was   partially damaged (one unit). According to the mass media   information, the "Osa" was damaged. NKR suffered no losses. The   Armenian side on May 16 gave a hard response to these actions of the   Azerbaijani side.

Болью в сердце отзываются тревожные и трагические сообщения продолжающегося противостояния в Карабахе. В создавшихся условиях решающим все же должен, так или иначе, стать голос простых граждан. Некоторые армянские политики наносят при єтом вред армянству своей ослепленностью. Не помешало бы взять на себя смелость вести дело в интересах большинства армян, в первую очередь в самой Армении. Нечто подобное переживает израильское общество. Не могу в связи с єтим не привести свежее сообщение РИА Новости с некоторыми сокращениями. Пусть подобная атмосфера, в мирных условиях, набирает силу и в Армении. Пусть подобные сообщения множатся и помогают победить человеколюбию над ложью и ненавистью. Пусть не проигривает ни одна из сторон любых конфликтов взаимным прощением и покаянием. МОСКВА, 27 мая — РИА Новости. Более 10 тысяч человек в субботу в Тель-Авиве приняли участие в демонстрации, чтобы выразить поддержку решения палестино-израильского конфликта путем создания двух государств для двух народов, сообщает газета Гаарец. Отмечается, что демонстрация под лозунгом Два государства — одна надежда прошла на площади Рабина и, по словам организаторов, была приурочена к пятидесятилетию оккупации. Участники выступали за освобождение оккупированных территорий и за создание Палестинского государства в границах 1967 года. По информации издания, организаторами мероприятия стали неправительственная организация Мир сейчас Peace Now совместно с партиями Авода и Мерец. Во время акции было зачитано послание главы Палестинской автономии Махмуда Аббаса, а также выступили ряд израильских политиков и деятелей культуры. Лидер оппозиционной рабочей партии Авода Исаак Герцог обвинил премьер-министра Израиля Беньямина Нетаньяху в том, что в прошлом году он упустил возможность продвинуть мирный процесс. Сегодня власти Израиля в первую очередь ведомы страхом. Страхом изменений, страхом обещаний, страхом инициативы и страхом надежды. Израильский премьер-министр — главный паникер, — приводит издание слова Герцога. Согласно обнародованным в пятницу результатам опроса общественного мнения, 47 израильтян все еще поддерживают решение конфликта путем создания двух государств для двух народов, 39 респондентов выступили против такого решения, еще 14 воздержались от ответа, отмечает издание. 5.2017
