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.

EU leaders call on Trump to include Ukraine in summit with Putin

European Union leaders have appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump to defend their security interests at a summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday 15 August over the war in Ukraine. EU leaders are doing their best to exert some influence over the summit that they have been sidelined from. It remains unclear whether even Ukraine will take part but EU leaders underlined that “the path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine.” According to AP, Trump has said that he wants to see whether Putin is serious about ending the war now in its fourth year. In a statement on Tuesday 12 August, EU leaders said that they “welcome the efforts of President Trump towards ending Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.” The European Union will make a fresh attempt to rally Trump to Ukraine’s cause on Wednesday at virtual meetings convened by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Trump did not confirm whether he would take part, but he stated: “I’m going to get everybody’s ideas” before meeting with Putin.
