Out of the box • le blog de Christophe Solioz / Blogs - Diaporama, Bosnie-HerzégovineMP Ramil Hassan, the Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Western Azerbaijani Community, recently addressed the United Nations, proclaiming that the ethnic cleansing of more than one million Azerbaijanis by Armenia, including 300,000 from its territory, make Armenia far from being a peaceful and inclusive country. MP Hassan said these remarks at the UN Economic Commission for Europe, where he described displacement as being one of the main challenges obstructing the UN’s development goals.
At the UN, MP Hassan called upon the international community to support the right of the West Azerbaijani people to return to their homes. He proclaimed that creating the conditions that would enable West Azerbaijanis to return to their homes in present-day Armenia is pivotal for the human rights of the peoples of the region.
On the International Day Commemorating the Genocide of West Azerbaijanis, the community declared: “Genocide against the Azerbaijani people was systematically carried out on the basis of racist ideology instilling ethnic hatred and was committed in almost all parts of the historical lands of Azerbaijan. This genocide, which began to intensify and take an open form since 1905, was especially cruel in the western part of Azerbaijan. In 1918-1920, the Armenian army committed mass massacres and ethnic cleansing against Azerbaijanis in Yerevan, Zangazur, Goycha, Darelayaz, Surmeli, Sharur and other districts.”
They continued: “As a result of the acts of genocide in which hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis were killed, the Azerbaijanis, who once made up more than 80 percent of the population in Iravan province, began to form an ethnic minority in that area in 1921. As a result of the ethnic cleansing carried out in 1948-52 and 1987-91, Azerbaijanis were completely expelled from there. At present, not a single Azerbaijani has remained in the territory now called Armenia, and the cultural heritage belonging to Azerbaijanis has been completely destroyed.”
The West Azerbaijani Community proclaimed: “Despite its international obligations, Armenia continues its racist policy. This country prevents Azerbaijanis from returning to their homes safely and with dignity, glorifies elements such as Garegin Njde, Andranik Ozanyan, Drastamat Kanayan, Monte Melkonyan, who committed crimes against humanity and terrorist acts against Azerbaijanis, and promotes racist ideology such as Njdeism at the state level.”
They concluded: “We demand that Armenia acknowledge its responsibility for the crimes of genocide and take the necessary steps for reconciliation. Armenia should create conditions for the safe and dignified return of the expelled Azerbaijanis and restore the destroyed Azerbaijani cultural heritage.”
Un tiers des habitants de Macédoine du Nord attend toujours de recevoir de nouveaux passeports et de nouvelles cartes d'identité, avec le nom du pays mis à jour, ainsi que l'exige l'accord de 2018 avec la Grèce. Les retards s'accumulent, au prix de nombreux tracas pour la population.

By recommending a net emissions reduction target of 90 per cent compared to 1990 levels, it lays the strategic foundations for the forthcoming legislative period. At the same time, the policy initiative takes the opportunity to emphasise the growing importance of the interplay between industrial and climate policy, particularly with regard to carbon management technologies. Although reforming the EU’s climate policy architecture for the years 2031 to 2040 will not begin until after the upcoming European elections, the Communication offers a glimpse into the political challenges that the German government will also have to face.
Eine zweite Präsidentschaft Donald Trumps würde zu einer Herausforderung für die transatlantischen Beziehungen werden. Die Aufkündigung der nuklearen Rückversicherung wäre indes vermutlich eher das letzte Opfer einer sich auflösenden Beziehung, nicht das erste. Trumps innenpolitische Interessen sind nicht vereinbar mit einem vollständigen Rückzug der Vereinigten Staaten aus ihrer Rolle als globaler Akteur, was eine Voraussetzung für die Aufgabe der nuklearen Sicherheitsversprechen Washingtons an seine Nato-Verbündeten ist. Zwar ist der Extremfall eines Endes der erweiterten nuklearen Abschreckung möglich und bedarf auf Seiten der Verbündeten entsprechender Planung; er ist jedoch höchst unplausibel und darf nicht von den wahrscheinlicheren Entwicklungen ablenken. Denn selbst im bestmöglichen Szenario einer Trump-II-Administration, die in diesem Punkt auf Kontinuität setzt, würde die US-amerikanische nukleare Rückversicherung für Europa voraussichtlich an Glaubwürdigkeit verlieren. Deshalb sollten deutsche und europäische Entscheidungsträger:innen schon jetzt mit ihren US-Kolleg:innen zusammenarbeiten, um die transatlantische diplomatische Koordination, die konventionelle Abschreckung und Verteidigung und auch die nukleare Dimension zu stärken.
