Editor says situation relatively calm in Beirut![]() October 22, 2012 - 15:05 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - It was relatively calm in Beirut on October 22 morning, with the roads occasionally blocked only in the Southern districts, Aztag paper editor-in-chief said. As Shahan Kandaharian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, the area surrounding the government building was strictly controlled by law enforcement agencies. “People went to work; life gradually returns to normal. However, the overall tensions still remain,” he said. “Different political statements will probably be issued during the day, as the opposition continues demanding resignation of the government,” Kandaharian said, adding that the superpowers “stand for the stability in the country.” The foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Ararat Mirzoyan and Jeyhun Bayramov, have arrived in Washington. The CSTO budget for the current year requires adjustments due to the refusal of Yerevan to pay their share of contributions. Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees. Friday night 8 trees were torched along the beautiful main entrance. The EU does not intend to conduct military exercises with Armenia, Lead Spokesperson for EU Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Peter Stano says. Partner news |
