БЕСПОРЯДКИ В АФИНАХ, НА ФОНЕ ПРИНЯТОГО ДЕПУТАТАМИ СПАСАТЕЛЬНОГО ПАКЕТА МЕР

Греческие депутаты одобрили спорный пакет мер жесткой экономии, требуемый Еврозоной и МВФ в обмен на 130 млрд. евро.

Голосование было проведено с результатами 199 за и 74 против. После голосования из правящей коалиции были исключены более 40 парламентариев, которые отказались поддержать меры по сокращению расходов.

Десятки тысяч людей вышли протестовать на улицы Афин, на которых царили беспорядки и столкновения, во время которых были подожжены здания. Бурные протесты были зарегистрированы в городах по всей стране.

Протестующие у здания парламента бросали камни и бутылки с зажигательной смесью, а полиция отвечала слезоточивым газом. Десятки полицейских и демонстрантов получили ранения.

Премьер-министр Лукас Пападемос призвал к спокойствию, заявив, что "жесткий пакет" создаст основу для реформ и восстановления экономики.

Беспорядки в Афинах были несколько неблагоприятным местом для Бако Саакяна, президента самопровозглашенной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики, который в настоящее время находится с визитом в Греции.

Саакян в воскресенье провел встречи с лидерами армянской общины в Греции. Он также присутствовал в церкви Святой Богоматери, где принял участие в воскресной литургии, которую отслужил предводитель Арцахской епархии Армянской Апостольской церкви, архиепископ Паргев Мартиросян.

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.
