Армении предстоит выбрать 4-го президента республики

В четверг (1 марта) Армен Саркисян, который в настоящее время занимает пост посла Армении в Соединенном Королевстве, ответил на вопросы депутатов в преддверии голосования парламента в пятницу, что, скорее всего, приведет к его избранию в качестве четвертого президента независимой Армении.

В соответствии с положениями конституционных изменений, которые были одобрены на референдуме в прошлом году, большая часть полномочий исполнительной власти уже в следующем месяце перейдет к премьер-министру и парламенту. Армен Саркисян будет выдвинут на пост президента от коалиции, состоящей из Республиканской партии Армении и Партии Дашнакцутюн. В последние месяцы Саркисян встречался с другими политическими силами и представителями гражданского общества с целью добиться широкого консенсуса в отношении его избрания. На основании заявлений от неправительственных организаций вполне вероятно, что некоторые из них поддержат его выдвижение.

В среду Армен Саркисян обратился к национальному собранию, где он пообещал, что в случае его избрания он будет работать честно и открыто и приложит все усилия для развития и процветания страны.

"Я буду именно тем, кто выполнит свои обязанности президента Армении, но, что еще важнее, гражданина этой странs. Мое президентство не будет ограничено этим парламентом, я буду президентом представляющим интересы армянского народа, а также интересы армян Арцаха /.../ Я сделаю все, что в моих силах, чтобы стать президентом огромной армянской диаспоры, чтобы реализовать наше видение [национального] единства и объединю наши страны в единую страну и единый народ, управляемый одним президентом. Мы - небольшое государство, но мы можем быть международной нацией. Я уверен, что при правильном планировании и шагах мы сможем сделать наш XXI век", приводят слова Саркисяна армянские СМИ.

Russia adds pressure on Armenia ahead of key elections; recalls Ambassador in Yerevan for consultations

Ahead of key parliamentary elections,scheduled to be held in Armenia on Sunday, 7 June, Russia continues to attempt to put pressure on the Armenian Government led by prime minister Nikol Pashinyan. On 30 May, Russia recalled its Ambassador to Yerevan for consultations. A terse statement, published on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said, "The Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Armenia , S.P. Kopyrkin, has been summoned to Moscow for consultations in connection with the steps taken by the Armenian leadership to move closer to the European Union, which are detrimental to cooperation within the EAEU." This followed a statement issued the day before, by the leaders of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) that challenges the Armenian trajectory towards approximating to the European Union. Vladimir Putin is undertood to have personally pushed the other four EAEU leaders to issue the statement, which said: "Taking into account the significant risks to the economic security of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (hereinafter referred to as the Union) arising in connection with the preparation of the Republic of Armenia for accession to the European Union, as well as the need to prevent the associated damage to the member states of the Union: decided that the members of the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council from the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic and the Russian Federation will report at the next meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in December 2026 on the possible consequences of the suspension of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union with respect to the Republic of Armenia. We share the position on the need to hold a national referendum in the Republic of Armenia as soon as possible on joining the European Union or continuing to be part of the Eurasian Economic Union."

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Today, commonspace.eu starts a new regular weekly series. THURSDAY INTERVIEW, conducted by Lauri Nikulainen, will host  persons who are thinkers, opinion shapers, and implementors in their countries and spheres. We start the series with an interview with Murad Muradov, a leading person in Azerbaijan's think tank community. He is also the first co-chair of the Action Committee for a new Armenian-Azerbaijani Dialogue. Last September he made history by being the first Azerbaijani civil society activist to visit Armenia after the 44 day war, and the start of the peace process. Speaking about this visit Murad Muradov said: "My experience was largely positive. My negative expectations luckily didn’t play out. The discussions were respectful, the panel format bringing together experts from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey was particularly valuable during the NATO Rose-Roth Seminar in Yerevan, and media coverage, while varied in tone, remained largely constructive. Some media outlets though attempted to represent me as more of a government mouthpiece than an independent expert, which was totally misleading.  Overall, I see these initiatives as important steps in rebuilding trust and normalising professional engagement. The fact that soon a larger Azerbaijani civil society visits to Armenia followed, reinforces the sense that this process is moving in the right direction."
