В Армении арестовали трех высокопоставленных военных чиновников

В понедельник в рамках расследования, проводимого армянским правительством, были арестованы три высокопоставленных армянских военных чиновника.

Аресты были проведены в беспокойное время для армянских военных. Раннее, после четырех дней ожесточенных боевых действий в начале апреля между Арменией и Азербайджаном от своих должностей были отстранены высокопоставленные генералы.

"Они задержаны в рамках разных уголовных дел. Задержанные подозреваются в разных деяниях. В одном случае - по факту закупки некачественных товаров, в другом случае, по предварительным данным, некоторые виды товаров закупались по раздутым ценам", сообщил Сона Трузян, пресс-секретарь правительства. Задержанные - генерал-майор Мелс Чилингарян, полковники Армен Маркарян и Мгер Папян.

Чилингарян, который занимал должность начальника отдела по вооружениям ВС Армении, был отстранен от должности 23 мая указом президента Сержа Саргсяна. Троих других генералов постигла та же участь в конце апреля.

Армянские вооруженные силы понесли большие потери за четыре дня боевых действий с Азербайджаном, худших боевых действий за последние два десятилетия.

Отставку высокопоставленных лиц приветствовал ряд армянских наблюдателей, которые говорят, что необходимость борьбы с коррупцией в армянских вооруженных силах уже давно назрела.

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.
