Бако Саакян официально вступил в должность президента Карабаха

В четверг (7 сентября) Бако Саакян дал присягу на свой третий срок на посту президента самопровозглашенной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики (НКР). Церемония прошла в парламенте самопровозглашенной Республики, в Степанакерте.

Нагорный Карабах официально признан международным сообществом территорией Азербайджана, но армянское население региона отделилось от него во время конфликта в 1990-х годах. В результате конфликта азербайджанское население было вынуждено покинуть свои дома.

Саакян был переизбран на пост президента на третий срок Парламентом самопровозглашенной Республики 19 июля. Его срок на посту истекает в 2020 году, тогда же состоится всенародное голосование среди армянского населения Нагорного Карабаха по результатам которого и будет избран новый президент. В своей инаугурационной речи Саакян сказал: "За минувшие годы мы осуществили и осуществляем миссию, направленную на то, чтобы высоко держать честь армянского народа. И в будущем мы сделаем всё для того, чтобы высоко держать честь и достоинство армянского народа".

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.
