Spain's Council of State says new Catalonia vote should be blocked![]() October 30, 2014 - 18:22 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Spain's Council of State on Thursday, Oct 30, unanimously backed a move for the government to try to block a planned "consultation of citizens" on independence in the region of Catalonia on Nov 9, a spokeswoman for the consultative body said, according to Reuters. The northeastern region earlier this month abandoned plans for a referendum on that day after it was blocked in the courts by the central government, and said instead it would hold a vote open to anyone who wants to cast their ballot. The Council of State now wants the government to ask the Constitutional Court to declare this new vote illegal. ![]() ![]() Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert.
