Azerbaijan is escalating a conflict with France that’s playing out in French territories in the Pacific, Caribbean and Latin America over weapons the European nation has supplied to Armenia. The Baku Initiative Group, an organization linked to the Azerbaijani government, is agitating for an end to Paris’s rule in many of its overseas regions, supporting pro-independence activists in places like French Polynesia and New Caledonia. “Today, the whole world sees what the French state is up to in these colonized territories,” the group’s head, Abbas Abbasov, said in an interview. The confrontation looks set to worsen as France, home to the world’s third largest Armenian diaspora, just signed a fresh arms deal with Yerevan. Paris is expected to maintain military backing for Armenia no matter the outcome of snap legislative elections called by President Emmanuel Macron. To be sure, Azerbaijan has spent billions of dollars on arms supplies itself, also provided by foreign powers such as Turkey, Israel and Russia. Tha... -

President Joe Biden is now chalking up his fumbling debate performance to a heavy travel schedule ahead of the face-off with Donald Trump — the latest in a series of explanations for an episode that has caused some Democrats to call for him to drop his reelection bid. The president told donors Tuesday that he was offering “not an excuse but an explanation” for his struggles during the debate. “I wasn’t very smart. I decided to travel around the world a couple of times … shortly before the debate,” Biden said at a fundraiser in McLean, Virginia. “I didn’t listen to my staff and I came back and then I almost fell asleep on stage.” His remarks Tuesday marked the latest attempt to explain the poor debate performance and stave off a cascade of Democrats threatening to withdraw support or calling for him to drop out amid questions about his mental acuity at 81, nearly three years older than Trump. He assumed responsibility for what happened on the debate stage, telling donors at the Virginia event that it “wasn’t v... -

Cities across France are once again set to burn, as militant activists take to the streets to violently protest the results of the first round of the snap election, which saw the far-right National Rally party soar ahead in the polls. Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally (RN) won the first round of legislative elections on Sunday, leaving incumbent president Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance lagging in a distant third behind the left, projections by polling groups said overnight. The projections gave the RN 34% of the vote, compared to 29.1% for the left-wing New Popular Front alliance, and just 22% for Macron's centrist camp. Many French voters are frustrated about inflation and other economic concerns, as well as Macron's leadership, seen as arrogant and out-of-touch with their lives. The National Rally party has tapped that discontent, notably via online platforms such as TikTok. But the political frustration with the state of France's economy, and the country's role on the world stage, was matched... -

Joe Biden’s family on Sunday encouraged the president to stay in the 2024 race and privately discussed whether top aides should be fired on the heels of Biden’s stunningly poor debate performance, which has thrown his campaign into turmoil. Biden’s family, including first lady Jill Biden, son Hunter Biden and their grandchildren, convened at Camp David for a previously scheduled get-together and implored the president to keep fighting in his bid for reelection, Biden advisers told CNN. One adviser described the family members as having offered their “unequivocal support.” The family – clearly frustrated with the team that prepared President Biden ahead of his alarming debate with former President Donald Trump – discussed whether any of Biden’s top advisers should be fired and whether campaign staffing changes should be made, one adviser said. Biden, however, is known for being loyal to and protective of his close advisers, and does not like to fire aides. As of Sunday, it did not appear that any major staffin... -

In an interview with Zarkerak.am, Chairman of the Board of Armeconombank Saribek Sukiasyan talked about his path, successful business formula and the Bank. -Would you briefly describe Saribek Sukiasyan's life? - We are four brothers in our family, and we grew up in one of Yerevan neighborhoods where the environment was quite harsh. To keep us away from trouble, our father drew us into work from childhood and so instilled in us the aspiration of creating value. Me and my brothers experienced both the difficulty and the joy of earning money when we were still 12-13 years old. At that age, the day for me started as early as at 6 in the morning, that is we would get up 3 hours before school to go to the factory for work. So there were five men in our family, and in this regard, my father's words are with me to this day: “With 10 working hands in the family, earning a living should never be a problem”. My father was a creative, fair, and highly respected person, and despite the only 5-grade education he had, peopl... -

An attempted military coup in Bolivia by the country’s sacked General Juan Jose Zuniga was thwarted on Wednesday as armed forces withdrew from the presidential palace in La Paz and president Luis Arce called for public and international support to defend democracy. “We need the Bolivian people to mobilize and organize themselves against this coup d’état and in favor of democracy,” he said. “We cannot allow, once again, attempted coups to claim Bolivian lives.” Armored vehicles were used to ram the door of the government palace in La Paz. Mr Arce said that the coup attempt, reportedly led by the general commander of the army, failed and he replaced his military chiefs. The president was seen on video confronting Gen Zuniga, and ordering him to stand down. “I am your captain, and I order you to withdraw your soldiers, and I will not allow this insubordination,” Mr Arce said. After taking over, the new head of the army ordered the troops back to bases. “I order all that are mobilised to return to their units, sa... -

In Vayots Dzor, the peaceful coexistence of humans and wildlife has been given more importance to. There is this challenge to conserve the farms without harming the nature. Farmers realize that bears possess remarkable skills: they very quickly identify and overcome the obstacles created by farmers, and cause significant losses to their farms. Vahe Khachatryan, a beekeeper in Gomq, has tried numerous strategies to prevent losses: he found the bears’ paths to his garden, installed devices signaling their approach, but they were temporary and ineffective. Viva-MTS and the Foundation for the Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets have found an effective way to support farmers: they made use of modern green technologies. Solar-powered electric fences are both safe for animals and invaluable for economic development. Recently, twenty electric fences were provided to Vayots Dzor, including five to Vayk: Vahe Khachatryan is among those who’ll benefit from them. “I have 95 beehives. This year, bears started arr... -

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has walked free from a court in the US Pacific island territory of Saipan, after pleading guilty to violating US espionage law, in a deal that left him free to return home to Australia and brought an end to an extraordinary 14 year legal saga. On Wednesday, the US’s smallest and most remote federal district court accepted a plea deal reached between Assange and the US government, under terms which required him to admit guilt to one criminal count of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified US national defence documents. In return he was sentenced to time served, with no supervisory period or financial penalty, due to time already served in Belmont prison in London. He flew out of Saipan, headed for Canberra, at lunchtime on Wednesday. His release ends a legal saga that spanned more than a decade, in which Assange spent five years in the high-security jail and seven years at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, battling extradition to the US, where he faced 18 criminal charg... -

Israel's Foreign Ministry says it has summoned the Armenian ambassador for a “stern reprimand” following the country’s announcement that it will recognize the state of Palestine. Armenia is the latest country to make such an announcement since the start of Israel’s war against Hamas following the terror group’s October 7 attack — following Slovenia, Ireland, Spain and Norway’s moves earlier this year. Israel has weighed how to react to the measures, and has reportedly proposed downgrading ties with the nations in question. -

Ucom has launched a student program, where students in their 2nd and 3rd years of studies at the university can intern in the company during the summer holiday. Within the framework of the program, students will participate in courses aimed at developing professional skills and will intern in the company's sales and service offices or call center.

On the other hand, it will allow students to acquire practical skills, develop a business mentality, orientate themselves in the matter of professional choice and communicate with leading experts in the field. I'm sure this is a very mutually beneficial initiative," said Ralph Yirikian, General Director of Uc... -

How to start a business and contribute to the country’s economic development? Anna from Artsakh has become a participant in the educational program “Get Started” with a confidence to hear success stories from startup companies, learn from others’ experiences, and establish her own manufactory, producing Armenian-made glazes. Years ago, Anna studied pottery in the village of Zorak in Ararat region: little did she imagine that after a sudden change in life and displacement, she would have the opportunity to explore the startup ecosystem. She has become even more determined thanks to the “Get Started” educational program. She began to consider turning her hobby into a business project and scale up the production of ceramic brooches based on her own designs using glazes produced in-house. Zorak’s pottery teacher, too, encourages her to do so. “I was going for pottery and I had already gained some skills. Then I also participated in the “Get Started” educational program and decided to combine those two and start m... -

June 12 was really a watershed; it was at least the most brutal and unprecedented behavior I have ever seen by the police, lawyer Arsen Babayan said at a press conference. He noted that, in his opinion, it was an act of revenge against the participants of the movement. “Abraham Gasparyan was isolated and brutally beaten by about 20 red berets. This does not comply with any rules for using police force,” he said. With regard to the stun grenades that were used, Babayan noted that they were thrown without any resistance or attack. “The people there did not do anything that would give them legal reasons to take special measures. But before their adoption, people were brutally beaten,” Babayan said. According to him, the police actions started in Kirants, Tavush, when, for some reason, they stopped the cars of the march participants. “Dozens of cars remained impounded for 15–20 days. People have been arrested. Such is the state of affairs that they say that people have used violence or participated in mass unrest... -
