Both sides’ statements at the Trump-Jinping meeting naturally deserve attention. For example, Trump announced that the US intends to establish economic relations with China based on the principle of full reciprocity and parity.
 
Does this mean that the US president is abandoning the logic of economic sanctions, or is the statement just a diplomatic form, and in terms of content, Trump does not intend to maintain reciprocity and parity?
 
There is also a certain warning in Xi Jinping’s speech, which says that it is not necessary to allow the US-China relationship to fall into the “Thucydid’s trap”, when the struggle of the superpowers ends in a conflict.
 
The footnote of this review is remarkable, if we consider that the concept of “Thucydides’ trap” is defined in the sense that the newly forming power starts to oppose the already existing superpower. Perhaps Xi Jinping’s hint to Trump is that China is no longer an opposition to the US and is essentially not afraid of being a disproportionate victim in the event of a conflict.
 
Trump stated that personal contacts with Xi Jinping regularly helped to overcome complications. Trump also stated that Xi Jinping is a strong leader, and although many people don’t like him saying that, he will say again that Xi Jinping is a strong leader. “I always tell the truth,” Trump said.

“Hraparak” daily writes.

The authorities recently conducted another internal survey and found out that the Armenian Apostolic Church, even after so many attacks and consistent discrediting, is the most trusted structure in Armenia. That is why the team was instructed not to talk much about the provisions against the Armenian Apostolic Church in the CP pre-election program, which are, in fact, anti-constitutional provisions. Let us remind you that the pre-election program of the CP party states that the actual head of the Church, that is, the Catholicos, should be changed.

“In order to solve the problem of having a valuable spiritual life, the renovation of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church is a vital necessity. In recent decades, as a result of the activities of the actual leadership of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church, the religious community has been alienated and continues to be alienated from the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church, which, among other things, is a problem of spiritual security, because it has created an opportunity for external forces to try to turn the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church into a stronghold of the hybrid struggle against the independence and sovereignty of the Republic of Armenia. The “Civil Contract” party supports the agenda of the improvement of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church and adopts the following road map: a) Removal of the de facto head of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church (retirement title), b) Election of the Catholicos vicar in the established order, c) Adoption of the Charter of the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church.

According to the charter, structures should be established to ensure the maintenance of fixed principles, financial transparency and the good behavior of clergymen. In the ruling team, it can be said, a veto was placed on the discussion of this issue, with the calculation that after the elections on June 7, when they win, they will announce that they have also received approval for the implementation of their anti-Church plan, so they will start a new and stronger attack against the Holy Father and the Church.

Yesterday, students and teachers took part in the “Civil Agreement” campaign in Aragatsotn region during school hours. This fact appeared in the press, raised a wave of criticism, which forced the CEC to issue a statement.

“The Central Electoral Commission reiterates that administrative resources are the human, financial, and material means possessed by public office holders and public service officials during elections, due to their control over personnel, finances, and allocations in the public sector.

It is prohibited to use administrative resources during the organization and implementation of pre-election campaign to those in public service, employees of healthcare or medical organizations, educational institutions, preschool educational institutions while exercising their powers or acting in their official capacity.

Once again, we call for the pre-election campaign to be carried out within the framework of the Electoral Code constitutional law,” the CEC statement said.

Human rights defender Anahit Manasyan also made a toothless statement, in which he lightly scolded the government, without pointing out the direct addressee.

“Regarding the published information about the disruption of the educational process during the election campaign, the Human Rights Defender considers it necessary to emphasize that the unimpeded, continuous and full realization of children’s right to education during the election process should be prioritized and guaranteed.

The defender reaffirms that the state, educational institutions and all competent bodies are obliged to guarantee such an environment where the educational process will not be disrupted by any external interference, including actions caused by political processes.

The defender of human rights emphasizes the provision of such practices by educational institutions and competent authorities, which will exclude the interruption or disruption of the educational process during class hours.

The Ombudsman’s staff continues to monitor the issues related to the protection of human rights during the electoral processes, ensuring impartial, independent and non-political activity within the scope of its mandate,” the HRD statement said.

However, as can be seen, none of these state speakers directly mentioned the name of CP party, that the children were cut off from school, and so were their teachers, just to participate in the propaganda of Nikol Pashinyan.

By the way, Pashinyan also assured the question addressed to him that any violation will not remain without consequences, an investigation will be conducted.

And we can imagine what legal consequences and information noise would arise if this happened during the opposition campaign…

This government cannot manage, and if the government cannot manage, then it must go. Gagik Tsarukyan, the leader of the “Prosperous Armenia” party, announced this during the pre-election campaign in the communities of Tavush region.

According to him, an entire nation should not suffer and be discredited because of the government. He pointed out all the problems that these authorities have brought upon RA. Foreign debt reaching 15 billion dollars, a difficult social situation, and with those 15 billion dollars, no serious economic program was implemented, no factory was built.

“I didn’t graduate from Harvard, but I graduated from the school of life. Nothing is impossible, everything is solvable, you just need the right specialists, party affiliation should not matter, but a person’s knowledge, work, and respect. Today they say: you elected Tsarukyan, you will vote for Lukashenko, and I say: whoever voted for CP, will vote for Aliyev and Erdogan,” stated Gagik Tsarukyan.

The PAP leader urged the participants of the meeting to definitely participate in the elections, voting according to their conscience.
