ФРАНЦИЯ-АРМЕНИЯ-ПРЕЗИДЕНТ-ВСТРЕЧИ

Объемы инвестиций французского капитала в экономику Армении неуклонно растут. Этот факт с удовлетворением констатировали президент Армении Серж Саргсян и премьер-министр Франции Франсуа Фийон в ходе остоявшейся накануне в Париже встречи.

Как сообщили АрмИнфо в пресс-службе главы армянского государства, в ходе встречи достигнута договоренность на политическом уровне продолжать оказывать содействие французским компаниям, заинтересованных в реализации в Армении различных программ. Особое место при этом будет уделено проектам в сфере энергетики. В частности, официальный Ереван заинтересован в участии французских компаний, обладающих солидным опытом, в проекте строительства в Армении нового ядерного энергоблока. Премьер-министр Франции Франсуа Фийон отметил, что сформированная в его стране группа специалистов прибудет в Армению для изучения перспектив сотрудничества в данной сфере.

Собеседники обсудили и возможность вовлечения французских компаний в проект строительства автомобильной дороги "Север-Юг". Как подчеркнул французский премьер, соответветствующая группа специалистов будет командирована в Армению для более детального изучения как данного проекта, так и проектов в сфере железнодорожного транспорта.

Президент Серж Саргсян и премьер-министр Франсуа Фийон обсудили также вопросы, касающиеся сотрудничества Армения - Европейский Союз. Была подчеркнута важность содействия Армении со стороны Франции в европейской интеграции, в частности, в рамках программы ЕС "Восточное партнерство".

Cобеседники отметили, что данный вопрос будет подробно рассмотрен на предстоящем саммите  программы "Восточное партнерство" в Праге.

Кроме вопросов, касающихся укрепления и развития сотрудничества в политической, экономической сферах, президент Армении и французский премьер обсудили также возможности развития связей в сферах образования и культуры.

Премьер-министр Фийон выразил надежду на то, что предстоящий государственный визит главы французского государства Николя Саркози в Армению придаст дополнительный стимул для развития двусторонних отношений в различных сферах, в том числе, и активизации сотрудничества в новых программах.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
