ESTONIAN PM EXPRESSES CONDOLENCES TO ARMENIAN PRESIDENT

TALLINN Mar 26

The head of the Estonian government sent today Armenian President
Robert Kocharyan a message of condolences over the death of Prime
Minister Andranik Margaryan.

Armenia lost an outstanding politician through the unexpected demise
of the prime minister, Andrus Ansip said, expressing condolences to
Margaryan’s family and the Armenian government and nation on his own
behalf and on behalf of the Estonian Cabinet.

Margaryan, 55, died of a heart attack on Sunday. As leader of the
Republican Party, he had headed the government since 2000.

In the 1970s Margaryan, a computer engineer, spent two years behind
bars for alleged anti-Soviet activities.

The Armenian government resigned after the death of the prime
minister. The new head of government is to be named within 10 days.
