Кавказ готовится праздновать Новый год и Рождество

В Кавказский регион прибыл дух праздничного сезона, где главным праздником является Новый год, а Рождество отмечается официально только в Армении и Грузии, где он отмечается в начале января, согласно православному календарю. В центре празднований находится рождественская елка, которую в регионе все чаще называют «новогодней». Установка елки обычно знаменует собой конец политического года и начало короткого перерыва, когда основное внимание уделяется семье, друзьям и веселью.

Во всем регионе 2018 год был значительным годом с важными политическими и социальными событиями. В Армении больше чем где-либо год стал насыщенным событиями, где весеннее политическое потрясение, которое назвали «бархатной революцией», действительно стало концом эпохи. То, что произошло в Армении в 2018 году, будет оказывать влияние на страну и регион в течение многих лет.

Поэтому было уместно то, что премьер-министр Никол Пашинян в пятницу был на площади Республики Еревана, где были устроенны праздничные мероприятия, которые включали в себя концерт и фейерверк.

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

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.
