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.

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.
