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.

Who is Italian?

Who is Italian?

Italians go to vote on 8 and 9 June in a referendum that is dividing the nation and will help define "Who is Italian". Until the mid-19th century Italy was "a mere geographical expression", divided in small states and parts of it occupied by foreign powers. Eventually, the Italian language brought people together, and the Italian state as we know it emerged by 1871. In todays Italy, the question of who gets to be Italian is a sensitive one. Large numbers of migrants and refugees arrive in the country each year helped across the Mediterranean from North Africa by smuggling gangs. The national referendum on Sunday and Monday proposes halving the time required to apply for Italian citizenship. Cutting the wait from 10 years to five would bring this country in line with most others in Europe. The referendum was initiated by a citizens' initiative and is supported by civil society groups. But for such a referendum to be valid, 50% of all voters in Italy have to turn up. Giorgia Meloni, the country's hard-right prime minister, has announced she will boycott the vote, declaring the citizenship law already "excellent" and "very open". Other parties allied to her are calling on Italians to go to the beach instead of the polling station.
