Посадят или нет? (Обновлено)

Обновлено. Добавлено о сегодняшнем голосовании в парламенте Армении

Парламент Армении в понедельник утвердил в первом чтении ряд изменений в Конституцию.

Изменения предлагают прекратить мандат тех судей Конституционного Суда, которые прибывают в должности более 12 лет. Те судьи, которые занимают должность в общей сложности менее 12 лет, будут оставаться судьями до истечения срока их полномочий.

Согласно поправкам, полномочия председателя Конституционного суда Грайра Товмасяна также прекращены. "Выборы нового председателя сроком на 6 лет будут произведены после заполнения вакансий, которые появятся после этих изменений", - считает депутат правительства Ваан Овакимян.

В выходные дни армянский суд отказал в разрешении на арест лидера армянской оппозиции и олигарха Гагика Царукяна.

Решение было принято после нескольких дней обсуждений и последовало за решением парламента Армении на прошлой неделе об отмене парламентского иммунитета Царукяна. Царукяна обвиняют в участии в процессе подкупа избирателей в поддержку его партии «Процветающая Армения» на парламентских выборах 2017 года. Также ведутся расследования по ряду других экономических преступлений.

Царукян и его сторонники приветствовали решение суда и сказали, что это доказательство того, что у правительства не было никаких реальных дел против него. Однако обвинители указали, что подадут апелляцию.

В пятницу другой армянский суд распорядился освободить под залог бывшего президента Роберта Кочаряна. Залог был установлен на уровне 2 миллиардов драмов, что эквивалентно примерно 4 миллионам долларов США. Ряд российских бизнесменов предоставили необходимые деньги для залога, и в субботу Кочарян был освобожден.

Эти громкие дела происходят, когда правительство Армении продолжает предпринимать усилия по внесению изменений в судебную систему. Парламент Армении соберется утром в понедельник (22 июня), чтобы обсудить изменения в составе Конституционного суда.

Andrii Parubiy shot dead in Lviv - a "shot fired at the heart of Ukraine"

The former speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, Andriy Parubiy, has been shot dead in the Ukrainian western city of Lviv. Police received reports of the shooting in the Frankivsk district of Lviv, western Ukraine, at around midday local time on Saturday. Unconfirmed reports suggest he was shot multiple times by a gunman dressed as a courier on an e-bike. Parubiy, 54, rose to prominence during Ukraine's Euromaidan movement, which advocated for closer ties with the EU and brought down pro-Russian former President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described it as a "terrible murder" and offered his condolences. Parubiy was a pivotal figure in the Euromaidan movement, which began after the Ukrainian government refused to sign an association agreement with the EU in late 2013. He later became secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, during a period when pro-Russian separatists began fighting in eastern Ukraine - and when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the annexation of the Crimea peninsula. Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Parubiy joined Ukraine's territorial defence. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described Parubiy as "a patriot and statesman who made an enormous contribution to the defence of Ukraine's freedom, independence and sovereignty". Sybiha added: "He was a man who rightfully belongs in the history books." Former President Petro Poroshenko said the killing of Parubiy was "a shot fired at the heart of Ukraine".
