Israel’s Envoy to Turkey Says Too Early for Mediation


Israel’s Ambassador to Turkey, Irit Lillian, said Sunday it was too early to talk about mediation offers between Israel and the Islamist group Hamas, adding the attacks showed that Hamas should not have any presence in Turkey or elsewhere. 

On Saturday, Hamas launched an attack against Israel, for which Israel vowed “mighty vengeance” in response. Hundreds of Palestinians and Israelis have been killed, in what Israel has said is a war. 

In an online briefing with journalists after Turkey said it was in contact with all parties and stood ready to de-escalate, Lillian said Israel’s priority was its response to the attack. 

“Mediation comes at a different point of time. Right now, we are unfortunately counting the dead, we are trying to heal the wounded, we don’t even know what is the number of the citizens abducted,” she said. 

“We want to see all the abducted people coming home and we want quiet and calmness coming back to Israel and the region,” she added. “After that, we can talk about mediation and who are going to be the players in this mediation.” 

The conflict comes as Turkey, which has backed Palestinians in the past, hosted members of Hamas, and supported a two-state solution to the conflict, works to repair ties with Israel after years of animosity. 

Ankara does not consider Hamas a terrorist organization. 

Hamas presence in Turkey 

Asked about the presence of Hamas members in Turkey, Lillian said a senior member of the Islamist group, Saleh al-Arouri, was sometimes seen at events in Turkey, and added he should be tried for crimes against humanity. 

“I think it just strengthens our point that Hamas should not have an office or any kind of activity, neither in Turkey nor anywhere else in the world,” she said. “There is no place for terrorists to direct or command acts from any country in the world.” 

The Turkish foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the presence of Hamas officials in Turkey. 

On Sunday, Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmus, while repeating Ankara’s earlier call for restraint, said Palestinians had long suffered from injustices, namely on Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque which he labelled a “red line.” 

Lillian said Israel had expected more empathy from Turkey, a country that has suffered from militant attacks for decades but added “good constructive” dialogue between the countries in “the day after” would shed light on the fate of the rapprochement. 

“I think it’s a little bit hard to say,” Lillian said, when asked if ties would be affected, adding that some comments from Ankara were “surprising.” 

“I think the relations of Israel and Turkey which started a process of warm-up should not be affected by yesterday’s attack and by the ongoing war against terrorism,” she added. 

She also said the Israeli embassy was in touch with Turkish authorities regarding threats and calls for demonstrations and violence.

სომხეთსა და აზერბაიჯანს შორის სამშვიდობო პროცესში საქართველოს ჩართულობა „ყველაზე სწორი არჩევანია“, აცხადებს აზერბაიჯანის პრეზიდენტი, ილჰამ ალიევი.

ალიევი აზერბაიჯანის სამთავრობო დელეგაციასთან ერთად თბილისს სტუმრობს. ორი ქვეყნის ლიდერებმა სამხრეთ კავკასიაში სამშვიდობო პროცესი განიხილეს მას შემდეგ, რაც აზერბაიჯანმა გასულ თვეში სუვერენიტეტი აღდგენილად გამოაცხადა.

„ჩემი იდეა ისაა, რომ ყველაზე სწორი არჩევანი, იქნება ეს ისტორიული ასპექტები, თუ ნებისმიერი სხვა, მათ შორის გეოგრაფიული, ჩვენ გვჭირდება საქართველოს ჩართულობა ამ სიტუაციაში. ველით იგივეს სომხეთისგანაც. და თუ ის დათანხმდება, მყისიერად დავიწყებთ, შესაბამისი უწყებების ჩართულობით, ორმხრივ და სამმხრივ შეხვედრებს აქ, საქართველოში“, – განაცხადა ალიევმა კვირას, საქართველოს პრემიერ მინისტრ ირაკლი ღარიბაშვილთან ერთად გამართულ ბრიფინგზე.

ალიევის გამოსვლას წინ უსწრებდა ღარიბაშვილის მიმართვა, რომელმაც გაიმეორა მხარდაჭერა აზერბაიჯანის ტერიტორიული მთლიანობის მიმართ და კიდევ ერთხელ გამოხატა მზაობა, რომ თბილისი ჩაერთოს სამშვიდობო პროცესში.

„ჩვენ საქართველოს ყოველთვის გვეკავა ნეიტრალური, მიუკერძოებელი პოზიცია. ახლაც მზად ვართ, რომ ჩვენი როლი, წვლილი შევიტანოთ ამ მედიაციის თუ მეგობრული ფორმატის ჩამოყალიბების პროცესში. თბილისი ყოველთვის მზად არის მიიღოს მონაწილეობა ამ პროცესში“, – განაცხადა ღარიბაშვილმა და დაამატა: „სამხრეთ კავკასიის სამივე ქვეყანამ უნდა შევძლოთ, თავადვე გადავწყვიტოთ რეგიონის საკითხები და ჩვენი შემდგომი განვითარება“.

ღარიბაშვილის თანახმად, ორი ქვეყნის ლიდერებმა, ასევე, განიხილეს შუა დერეფნის განვითარების საკითხები.

გასულ თვეში 24-საათიანი სამხედრო ოპერაციის შედეგად, აზერბაიჯანმა აღადგინა კონტროლი მთიანი ყარაბაღის სეპარატისტულ რეგიონზე, რამაც გამოიწვია 120,000 ეთნიკური სომეხის უმეტესი ნაწილის გადასახლება სომხეთში.

ბოლოს ერევანმა და ბაქომ სამშვიდობო ხელშეკრულების შესახებ წინადადებები აგვისტოში გაცვალეს. რამდენჯერმე რედაქტირებული დოკუმენტის დეტალები ჯერ არ გამოქვეყნებულა.

აზერბაიჯანის პრეზიდენტმა უარი განაცხადა ესპანეთის ქალაქ გრანადაში სომხეთის პრემიერ-მინისტრთან, ნიკოლ ფაშინიანთან, შეხვედრაზე. მოლაპარაკებები საფრანგეთის, გერმანიისა და ევროსაბჭოს ლიდერების მონაწილეობით უნდა გამართულიყო 5 ოქტომბერს.

Charles Michel llamó al presidente Ilham Aliyev

Bakú, 8 de octubre, AZERTAC

El 7 de octubre, el presidente del Consejo Europeo, Charles Michel, llamó por teléfono al presidente de la República de Azerbaiyán, Ilham Aliyev.

En el transcurso de la conversación telefónica, las partes intercambiaron puntos de vista sobre cuestiones regionales, informa AZERTAC.

El jefe de Estado señaló que incluir a Azerbaiyán en la declaración cuadrilateral sin la participación de Azerbaiyán en Granada no era el enfoque correcto. El presidente Ilham Aliyev comentó también que debido a la bien conocida posición de Francia, Azerbaiyán no participó en la reunión en Granada. El jefe de Estado enfatizó que el suministro de armas por parte de Francia a Armenia era un enfoque que no servía a la paz, sino que tenía la intención de provocar un nuevo conflicto, y si cualquier nuevo conflicto ocurriera en la región, Francia sería responsable de causarlo.

El presidente de Azerbaiyán señaló que la declaración anti-azerbaiyana adoptada por el Parlamento Europeo sobre la base de una prisma xenófoba y chovinista y las opiniones expresadas en ella eran inaceptables, añadiendo que esto no servía a la paz y la estabilidad en la región.

El presidente Ilham Aliyev manifestó que Azerbaiyán había restaurado plenamente su soberanía haciendo uso del derecho de autodefensa de conformidad con el derecho internacional y la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, y había neutralizado las unidades militares ilegales existentes en su territorio. En este sentido, las medidas adoptadas por Azerbaiyán estaban en plena conformidad con el derecho internacional. El jefe de Estado añadió que, por el contrario, los Estados que no comprendían la esencia de esta cuestión tenían graves problemas con el derecho internacional debido a sus políticas en diferentes regiones del mundo.

El presidente Ilham Aliyev declaró que el gobierno central había proporcionado asistencia humanitaria a los residentes armenios de Karabaj y que se había iniciado el proceso de su registro. El máximo mandatario azerbaiyano subrayó que fue el así llamado régimen el que obligó a los armenios a abandonar el territorio.

Ilham Aliyev afirmó que ocho pueblos de Azerbaiyán seguían bajo ocupación armenia y recalcó la importancia de liberar estos pueblos de la ocupación.

El jefe de Estado indica que se está trabajando en la creación de un corredor de transporte regional entre Azerbaiyán e Irán, y que se ha celebrado una ceremonia de colocación de la primera piedra para la construcción de un puente y de infraestructuras fronterizas y aduaneras, así como para la fortificación de la costa en la zona cercana al asentamiento de Aghband, en el distrito de Zangilan.

Charles Michel declaró que la Unión Europea está dispuesta a proseguir sus esfuerzos en pro de la normalización de las relaciones entre Armenia y Azerbaiyán.
