День геноцида армян отмечают в Армении и среди армянских общин мира

Армения и армяне всего мира сегодня отмечают День геноцида армян. Этот день посвящен злодеяниям, совершенным против армянского населения в последние дни Османской империи, во время которых, как утверждается, погибло до миллиона человек.

В Ереване президент Армен Саркисян и премьер-министр Никол Пашинян посетили Мемориал Цицернакаберд, чтобы почтить память погибших. Президента и премьер-министра сопровождали их супруги.

На мемориале также присутствовали католикос Гарегин II, спикер парламента Арарат Мирзоян, члены Кабинета министров и другие официальные лица.

Церемониальные венки и цветы были возложены рядом с символическим пламенем присутствующими высокопоставленными лицами, после чего наступила минута молчания. Ожидается, что мемориал в течение всего дня посетят тысячи людей.

Luhansk the first Ukrainian region fully occupied by Russia

A Russia-appointed official in Ukraine’s occupied Luhansk region was quoted by AP on Monday saying that Moscow’s forces have overrun all of it, one of four regions Russia annexed from Ukraine in September 2022. If confirmed, it would make Luhansk the first Ukrainian region fully occupied by Russia after more than three years of war with international peace efforts led by the US failing to make progress on halting the fighting. Russian President Vladimir Putin has effectively rejected a ceasefire and hasn’t budged from his demands, which include Moscow’s control over the four illegally annexed regions.
