Абрамян возвращается в качестве спикера

Ожидается, что парламент Армении впервые после выборов 6 мая соберется сегодня вечером, где и объявят Овика Абрамяна спикером. Абрамян занимал этот пост за несколько месяцев до выборов, перед тем как уйти в отставку, чтобы возглавить предвыборную кампанию правящей Республиканской партии Армении.

Однако, новый парламент будет значительно отличаться от прежнего. Мало того, что в нем теперь будут представлены шесть политических партий,  но, пожалуй, более важное то, что второй по величине партией в парламенте будет партия Процветающая Армения, которая не является частью нового правительства. Это дает неправительственным силам в парламенте очень важную роль.

Новый парламент также будет включать в себя ряд новых лиц, в том числе 14 женщин депутатов, и поколение молодых политиков, которые впервые попадают в парламент.

Некоторые оппозиционные партии объявили, что они не будут участвовать в церемонии открытия, но все стороны указали, что они будут играть активную роль в новом парламенте. Армения в настоящее время имеет самый плюралистический парламент на Южном Кавказе, со всеми основными политическими силами, представленными в нем.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
