Парламент Армении избрал Сержа Саргсяна в качестве следующего премьер-министра

Парламент Армении во вторник во второй половине дня (17 апреля) избрал с 77 голосами за и 17 против - за назначение Сержа Саргсяна новым премьер-министром страны. Саргсян был президентом Армении с 2008 года по апреля 2018 года. После конституционных изменений все исполнительные полномочия президента теперь переданы премьер-министру.

Парламент голосовал за нового премьем министра страны в момент, когда на улицах Еревана проходили многотысячные протесты против кандидатуры Саргсяна. Ранее руководство правохранительных органов страны распространило заявление о том, что демонстрации являются незаконными и призвали демонстрантов разойтись или столкнуться с последствиями.

Вчера в одном из инцидентов, который произошел радом со зданием Национального собрания, полиция использовала оглушающие гранаты, чтобы остановить демонстрантов. Сообщалось, что за последние двадцать четыре часа были арестованны несколько десятков протестующих.

В своем выступлении в Национальной ассамблее Саргсян сказал, что для Армении началась новая эра.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States. Relations between China and Russia have deepened in recent years, particularly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
