Армен Саркисян выдвинут в качестве кандидата на пост президента Армении

Армен Саркисян выдвинут в качестве кандидата на пост президента от правящей Республиканской партии. Предполагается, что Армен Саркисян займет пост президента в апреле этого года по истечению срока полномочий нынешнего президента Сержа Саргсяна. Это будет сопровождаться вступлением в силу конституционных изменений, которые передадут большинство исполнительных полномочий от президента парламенту и премьер-министру.

В настоящее время Армен Саркисян является послом Армении в Лондоне, до этого недолго занимал пост премьер-министра Армении в 1990-х годах.

В пятницу утром (19 января), армянские СМИ сообщили, что президент Серж Саргсян провел встречу в Ереване с Арменом Саркисяном и предложил его на эту должность от имени правящей Республиканской партии Армении. Президент Серж Саргсян также является лидером РПА, и, как ожидается, он сохранит за собой это место после ухода. Пока неясно, планирует ли Серж Саргсян занят какую-либо другую государственную должность, такую как премьер-министра или председателя парламента. Но независимо от того, займет он пост или нет, как ожидается, он продолжит оказывать влияние на политическую арену Армении, по крайней мере, еще некоторое время.

European States "disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia".

A number of European states have said that they are "disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia". In a Joint statement of 11 July 2025 the Foreign Ministers of Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the High Representative of the European Union commented on recent developments in Georgia We, the Foreign Ministers of European democracies, are disturbed and deeply concerned at the deteriorating situation in Georgia. We strongly condemn the recent, politically motivated, imprisonment and detention of the leaders of Georgian opposition, clearly designed to stifle political opposition in Georgia, a few months ahead of the local elections. Their detention, as well as arbitrary arrests and increasing repression of other Georgian authorities` critics, representatives of civil society, peaceful protesters and independent journalists, contribute to dismantling of democracy in Georgia and rapid transformation towards an authoritarian system, in contradiction to European norms and values. Recent legislative changes aim at stifling independent civil society and legitimate protest.
