Тигран Саркисян вновь назначен премьер-министром Армении. Это признак того, что правительство продолжит свою программу осторожных реформ, несмотря на противодействие с нескольких сторон.

Президент Армении, Серж Саргсян, вчера подписал указ о повторном назначении Тиграна Саркисяна премьер-министром. Решение ранее было обсуждено и одобрено Советом правящей Республиканской партии Армении.

Тигран Саркисян, рассматриваемый некоторыми, как реформист и профессиональный технократ, в течение последних лет подвергался критике с разных сторон за его программу осторожных реформ, которым противостоят различные группы, заинтересованных в сохранении закрытой и монополистической экономики Армении. Саркисяна также иногда критиковали и те, кто считает, что его программа реформ была недостаточно амбициозной.

Повторное назначение Тиграна Саркисяна премьер-министром, вероятно, одно из основных причин, из-за чего в конечном итоге партия Процветающая Армения (ППА), вторая по величине партия в парламенте Армении, не присоединилась к коалиционному правительству. Считается, что ППА находится под влиянием бывшего президента Роберта Кочаряна, который в прошлом открыто критиковал политику Тиграна Саркисяна.

Премьер-министр в последние два года также возглавляет армянское чарующее наступление на Европейский Союз, в результате чего Армения добилась прогресса в переговорах с ЕС по предлагаемому Соглашению об ассоциации. Сегодня Саркисян отбывает в Брюссель для встречи с европейскими политиками, где выступит на встрече в одном из "мозговых центров" Брюсселя. Как ожидается, он сформирует новое правительство в течение ближайших двух недель.

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.
