Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Moscow
Armenia will accept Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan subject to rights guarantee
MOSCOW — Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said his country is ready to recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave as part of Azerbaijan if Baku guarantees the security of its ethnic Armenian population, Reuters reported citing Russian news outlets.Nagorno-Karabakh has been a source of conflict between the two Caucasus neighbors since the years leading up to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and between ethnic Armenians and Turkic Azeris for well over a century.In 2020, Azerbaijan seized control of areas that had been controlled by ethnic Armenians in and around the mountain enclave, and since then it has periodically closed the only access road linking Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia, on which the enclave relies for financial and military support.“The 86,600 sq km of...

Prince Harry loses challenge to pay for police protection in UK
LONDON — Prince Harry has lost a legal challenge over his bid to be allowed to make private payments for police protection.His lawyers wanted a judicial review of the rejection of his offer to pay for protection in the UK, after his security arrangements changed when the prince stopped being a "working royal".But a judge has ruled not to give the go-ahead for such a hearing.Home Office lawyers had opposed the idea of allowing wealthy people to "buy" security from the police.This ruling followed a one-day court hearing in London last week.Since then the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been involved in what their spokesperson described as a "near catastrophic car chase" involving paparazzi in New York.But at the High Court last week, lawyers for Prince Harry...

Foreign and security policy is one of the few areas in EU policy-making where unanimity is required
Hungary and Poland rally allies to defend veto power in EU foreign policy
BRUSSELS — Hungary and Poland are mounting a push to retain the unanimity rule in the European Union's foreign and security policy, a blunt response to a recently formed coalition that is pressing to adopt a qualified majority and put an end to the veto power.The move was announced on Monday afternoon by Péter Szijjártó, Hungary's foreign affairs minister, who said preliminary talks were ongoing to oppose the new "group of friends" for the qualified majority, which includes, among others, Germany and France, the bloc's most influential members."Of course, on the other side, a team is also being organized, if I may say. We had negotiation sat the ambassadorial level here in Brussels" Szijjártó told reporters."Those member states who want to keep...

Meta: Facebook owner fined €1.2 billion for mishandling data
BRUSSELS — Facebook’s owner, Meta, has been fined €1.2 billion (£1 billion) for mishandling people’s data when transferring it between Europe and the United States.Issued by Ireland’s Data Protection Commission (DPC), it is the largest fine imposed under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation privacy law.GDPR sets out rules companies must follow to transfer user data outside of the EU. Meta says it will appeal against the “unjustified and unnecessary” ruling.At the crux of this decision is the use of standard contractual clauses (SCCs) to move European Union data to the US.These legal contracts, prepared by the European Commission, contain safeguards to ensure personal data continues to be protected when transferred outside Europe.But there are concerns these data...

World must be ready to respond to next pandemic: WHO chief
GENEVA —Although COVID-19 may no longer be a global public health emergency, countries must still strengthen response to the disease and prepare for future pandemics and other threats, the Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday in Geneva.WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was delivering his report to the 76th World Health Assembly, the UN agency’s decision-making body, which is meeting this week.“The end of COVID-19 as a global health emergency is not the end of COVID-19 as a global health threat,” Tedros told member states.“The threat of another variant emerging that causes new surges of disease and death remains, and the threat of another pathogen emerging with even deadlier potential remains.”Furthermore, in the face of overlapping and...
