Вооруженная группа, захватившая полицейский участок в Ереване, сдалась властям

Как сообщает агентство Интерфакс, вооруженная группа людей, захватившая полицейский участок в Ереване почти две недели назад, наконец-то, сдалась властям. В результате чего, были арестованы двадцать человек членов группы. Все заложники были освобождены.

Вооруженные люди требовали освобождения "политических заключенных", включая Жирайра Сефиляна, одного из оппозиционеров и критикв правительства Армении и президента Сержа Саргсяна, в частности, из-за политики в отношении Нагорного Карабаха.

"Антитеррористическая операция, направленная на освобождение территории полка патрульно-постовой службы полиции, завершена. Спецподразделения соответствующих правоохранительных органов Армении своими последовательными и скоординированными действиями вынудили членов вооруженной группы сложить оружие и сдаться властям. Арестованы 20 террористов. Территория полка ППС полиции полностью освобождена", - говорится в заявлении Службы безопасности Армении.

В субботу, за несколько часов до конца истечения срока ультиматума о сдаче властям, поставленного полицией перед вооруженной группой, был убит сотрудник полиции, который находился в патрульной машине за пределами захваченного участка. События вокруг полицейского участка резко обострились в эти выходные после разгона полицией демонстраций в пятницу вечером, в результате чего пострадали около 60 человек и около 100 были арестованы.

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.
