Оппозиционный блок Армении раскритиковал правительство из-за ареста Самвела Бабаяна

В среду вечером (22 марта), лидеры армянского политического блока «Оганян-Раффи-Осканян» (OРO), Сейран Оганян, Раффи Ованнисян и Вардан Осканян выступили с совместным жестким заявлением по поводу ареста бывшего министра обороны НКР, Самвела Бабаяна.

В своем заявлении три видных лидера оппозиционного блока обвинили армянские власти в провокациях накануне предстоящих парламентских выборов, которые запланированы на 2 апреля. "Мы оцениваем это поведение властей как шаг, направленный на формирование в стране атмосферы страха и оказание посредством противозаконных методов влияния на результаты выборов. "Оганян-Раффи-Осканян" продолжает работать в естественном русле. На провокации мы не поддадимся. Наши структуры, кандидаты в депутаты и сторонники продолжат работать с утроенным энтузиазмом", - говорится в заявлении.

Лидеры оппозиции призвали международное сообщество, наблюдательные миссии и дипломатические представительства внимательно следить за связанным с Самвелом Бабаяном делом.

Заявление последовало сразу после того, как стало известно об аресте бывшего министра обороны Нагорного Карабаха Самвела Бабаяна вместе с двумя другими людьми в рамках уголовного дела по факту контрабандного ввоза в страну переносного зенитно-ракетного комплекса «Игла». Бабаян, харизматичная, но спорная фигура в политической жизни Армении и Карабаха, в июне 2016 года вернулся в регион после нескольких лет добровольного изгнания в России.

Syrian president al Sharaa at the White House

Syrian president, Mohammed al Sharaa met with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Monday (10 November). Trump met with Sharaa in the first-ever visit by a Syrian president to the White House, six months after the two first met in Saudi Arabia, and just days after Washington said that the Syrian leader, who once led an Al-Qaeda affiliate group, was no longer a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist." Washington suspended the imposition of Caesar Act sanctions on Syria in part for 180 days, the Treasury Department said as the meeting took place. The move replaces a previous waiver enacted on 23 May, it said On Friday, the US lifted sanctions on Sharaa and Interior Minister Anas Khattab, a day after the UN Security Council took the same step. Sharaa, 42, took power last year after his fighters launched a lightning offensive from their Idlib and overthrew longtime Syrian President Bashar al-Assad just days later on December 8. Syria's regional realignment has since moved  away from key allies of the former regime, Iran and Russia, and toward Turkey, the Gulf - and Washington. Syria's presidency said that Sharaa and Trump discussed the bilateral relationship, "the ways to strengthen and develop it, as well as a number of regional and international issues of common interest." After al Sharaa and Trump met in Riyadh in May, Trump announced he would lift all sanctions on Syria.
