В Ереване арестованы лидеры оппозиции

Армянская полиция арестовала Николу Пашиняна, главного лидера оппозиции, который в течение последних десяти дней руководил уличными протестами, призывающими к отставке премьер-министра Сержа Саргсяна.

Полиция арестовала Пашиняна вскоре после того, как переговоры между ним и премьер-министром Саргсяном сорвались спустя  несколько минут после начала. Саргсян покинул встречу, обвинив Пашиняна в попытке шантажа правительства.

В ходе операции по задержанию Пашиняна полиция использовала оглушающие гранаты. Под стражу также были взяты по меньшей мере два других члена парламента от оппозиционного блока «Елк», а также многие другие участники демонстрации.

Israel approved plans on Monday to capture the entire Gaza Strip and remain in the territory for an unspecified amount of time, two Israeli officials said, in a move that if implemented would vastly expand Israel’s operations in the Palestinian territory and likely bring fierce international opposition. Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.
