The saga of two armed Kurdish fighters who were arrested by Armenian authorities after illegally crossing the border from Iran, and then mysteriously wound up in Turkey, has caused an uproar in Kurdish circles and in the Armenian press.
The Armenian National Assembly today, by a vote of 65-0, elected Vahagn Hovakimyan to replace outgoing Central Electoral Commission Chairman Tigran Mukuchyan.
The striking workers say they are paid 100,000 drams monthly (US$247), not the 160,000 stated in their contracts.
The European Union will send a ‘civilian mission’ to Armenia to help delineate its border with Azerbaijan, stakeholders announced Friday after a meeting with France in Prague.
Pashinyan travelled to St. Petersburg following his meeting in Prague with French President Emmanuel Macron, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and EC President Charles Michel on the sidelines of the first European Political Community summit.
Armenia expressed its agreement to encourage the EU civilian mission along the border with Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan agreed to cooperate with the mentioned mission to the extent it will be concerned.
