The farewell to the people

 

On April 8, Armenian President Robert Kocharyan delivered a farewell address to the Armenian people on the Armenian Public TV Channel.

 

“The progress of the country modernization is evident, the citizens’ life improved considerably. There are few countries in the world, which can compare with Armenia by the pace of development”, the president stated.

 

“Leaving a position, anyone asks themselves, could I do more? Perhaps, but I did the best I could, I worked tirelessly and in accordance to the schedule. At least, I kept all the promises I gave to the voters”, said Kocharyan.

“There is no problem. Any user can choose the traffic from wherever they want. If they don't like getting it from us, they can get it from another place. It is the problem of the Republic of Armenia, how they link with the worldwide web,” stated the Russian official.

 

Davutoglu’s same old story

 

On April 7, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu linked again the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations with the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

 

While speaking at the joint press conference with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Istanbul, Davutoglu said:

 

''The Turkish and Armenian relations are of crucial importance, which need a much more comprehensive approach to be initiated. The Minsk process should be provided with an ever-increasing momentum, and we need certain advancement in the issue of the invaded territory of Azerbaijan.”
