European Union Foreign Affairs Journal – N° 1 – 2016 www.eufaj.eu, [email protected] 4 Editorial Dear readers, EUFAJ has a spinoff - a quarterly entitled "Eurasian Economic Union Observer". The EEU, with Russia and four other states around, is a creation by the Russian president. It is also perceived as one step in the direction of an ideology of an empire which is definitely nationalist, and has been created as a "counterpart to the European Union". In the EU, nobody would be against a regional economic integration, and what is good for the South Pacific, Africa and the Caribbean world, can be good for Russia and the surrounding states, too. So we have decided to publish an observer paper on the Eurasian Economic Union, where also original texts will be offered to readers in English language. Its editor is Ofelya Sargsyan M.A., speaking not only Shakespeare's language but also her native Armenian and Russian. The first issue (1/2015) can be found, for free download, on www.eufaj.eu. Besides this, we had an interesting success with an old proposal. We dared to remind of a proposal discussed in some of the preparation talks of the Maastricht Treaty 1990: a European Intelligence service. This exists meanwhile, as INTCEN (Intelligence Centre) under the EEAS (European diplomatic service), but it has not very many coordination functions and is not very much regarded by the EU Member States. However, it should now coordinate the gathering of information about terrorists which strike anywhere in the EU and go from one country to the other just ad libitum. This should be upgraded, e.g. with a parliamentary control by the European Parliament, and it should be possible also without changes of the Lisbon Treaty, as not all EU Member States would have to take part in the beginning. See our blog with details: https://libertasblogs.wordpress.com/2016/01/17/the-eu-should-establish-a-real-intelligence- service/ With best regards, Hans-Jürgen Zahorka.

During this period, the armed forces of the Republic of Armenia continued intensive fire from their positions in the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan and from the territory of the Republic of Armenia on the positions of the armed forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan. As a result, two Azerbaijani servicemen were killed and one was wounded. The Republic of Armenia violated the ceasefire 1,426 times. Azerbaijan strongly condemns the continuous attempts by Armenia to escalate the situation on the front line and the deliberate targeting of the civilian population and civilian facilities. Azerbaijan will continue to take resolute measures against and respond adequately to Armenia’s ongoing aggression, violations of the ceasefire and other provocative acts. Peace and stability are contingent upon ending Armenia’s occupation of the territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan. As long as this occupation continues, human losses are inevitable on both sides, and the Republic of Armenia bears the full responsibility and should be held accountable.
