    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.
