Бако Саакян официально вступил в должность президента Карабаха

В четверг (7 сентября) Бако Саакян дал присягу на свой третий срок на посту президента самопровозглашенной Нагорно-Карабахской Республики (НКР). Церемония прошла в парламенте самопровозглашенной Республики, в Степанакерте.

Нагорный Карабах официально признан международным сообществом территорией Азербайджана, но армянское население региона отделилось от него во время конфликта в 1990-х годах. В результате конфликта азербайджанское население было вынуждено покинуть свои дома.

Саакян был переизбран на пост президента на третий срок Парламентом самопровозглашенной Республики 19 июля. Его срок на посту истекает в 2020 году, тогда же состоится всенародное голосование среди армянского населения Нагорного Карабаха по результатам которого и будет избран новый президент. В своей инаугурационной речи Саакян сказал: "За минувшие годы мы осуществили и осуществляем миссию, направленную на то, чтобы высоко держать честь армянского народа. И в будущем мы сделаем всё для того, чтобы высоко держать честь и достоинство армянского народа".

Israeli hostages and Palestinian detainees released as Trump’s Gaza plan is endorsed in Egypt summit

Hamas freed the last living Israeli hostages from Gaza on Monday 13 October under a ceasefire deal and Israel sent home busloads of Palestinian detainees, as U.S. President Donald Trump declared the end of the two-year long war in the Middle East. Hours later, Trump convened Muslim and European leaders in Egypt to discuss the future of the Gaza Strip and the possibility of a wider regional peace, even as Hamas and Israel, both absent from the gathering, are yet to agree on the next steps. The Israeli military said it had received all 20 hostages confirmed to be alive, after their transfer form Gaza by the Red Cross. The announcement prompted cheering, hugging and weeping among thousands waiting at "Hostage Square" in Tel Aviv. In Gaza, thousands of relatives, many weeping with joy, gathered at a hospital where buses brought home some of the nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees to be freed by Israel as part of the accord. "The skies are calm, the guns are silent, the sirens are still and the sun rises on a Holy Land that is finally at peace," Trump told the Knesset, Israel's parliament, saying a "long nightmare" for both Israelis and Palestinians was over.
