Выборы в ереванский городской совет станут проверкой популярности Пашиняна

Сегодня жители Еревана голосуют за  новый состав городского совета, состоящего из шестидесяти пяти членов, известного на местном уровне как совет старейшин. Эти выборы станут первым испытанием для политических сил, которые пришли к власти весной на фоне уличных протестов.

Выборы были назначены после того, как мэр города Тарон Маргарян, которого поддерживало предыдущее правительство во главе с Республиканской партией Армении (РПА), подал в отставку. РПА не выдвинула ни одного кандидата на выборы.

В выборах принимают участие двенадцать политических сил. Среди них:

Партия "Процветающая Армения" (Наира Зограбян)

"Светлая Армения" и "Республика", входящие в парламентскую фракцию "Елк" (Исход), выступают блоком "Свет" и выдвинули на пост мэра министра юстиции Артака Зейналяна.

Реформистская партия, партии "Наследие", "Айк" (Айказун), "Демократический путь", "Оринац еркир" (Страна законности), "Дашнакцутюн" и "Еркир цирани" (Страна абрикоса), а также блоки "Ереванское общество" и "Ереванцы".

Ожидается, что «Мой шаг», партия премьер-министра Николя Пашиняна, покажет хорошие результаты, но вопрос в том, покажет ли она действительно  достаточно хорошие результаты. Однако,  «Процветающая Армения» Гагика Царукяна, создает серьезную проблему в бедных районах Еревана, где на протяжении многих лет партия создавала сложную систему патронажа.

Голосование завершится в 20.00 по ереванскому времени (16.00 по Гринвичу).

Military parade to be held in Beijing as China and Russia reaffirm close ties

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States. Relations between China and Russia have deepened in recent years, particularly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
