Прощание с Шарлем Азнавуром - сыном Франции и Армении

В пятницу (5 октября), в отеле "des Invalides" в Париже, состоялась церемония прощания с Шарлем Азнавуром, который ушел из жизни на этой неделе. На церемонии присутствовали президент Франции Эмануэль Макрон и премьер-министр Армении Никол Пашинян. Азнавур, легендарный певец и один из самых известных французских деятелей культуры XX-го века, имел армянское происхождение и был тесно связан с его армянским наследием, несмотря на то, что был иконой Франции.

"Мы собрались сегодня, чтобы поклониться и почитать память великого мастера французского шансона, Шарля Азнавура. В течение восьми десятилетий это имя вызывало улыбки на миллионах лиц, возбуждало или успокаивало дыхание десятков миллионов, зажигало огни в глазах сотни миллионов", - сказал премьер-министр Пашинян на церемонии прощания.

Со своей стороны президент Макрон сказал: "В течение многих лет голос Шарля Азнавура объединял нас, независимо от нашего возраста и социального статуса. Азнавур объединил нас и стал одним из лиц Франции. Песни Азнавура - это прежде всего стихи, тексты которые живут в наших сердцац, названия этих стихов и песни, которые стали для нас наследием".

"Я уверен, что в течение многих лет миллионы людей в трудные для себя времена, будут питать надежду и счастье из музыки или текстов песен, покинувшего нас первоклассного творца. Он продолжит свой путь в наших сердцах, идя, с рукой в кармане, с улыбкой на лице, и вместе с нами он с гордостью пройдет это столетие. Теперь уже он никогда не покинет нас, потому что поэты во Франции никогда не умирают".

Азнавур будет похоронен в субботу. В этот день в Армении будут приспущены флаги.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
