    Ukraine's Armenians apologize for their president

    According to the Russian newspaper Russkii Kurier, Ukraine's
    Armenians condemned the actions of the Armenian President Robert
    Kocharyan who congratulated Yanukovich on his victory in advance. The
    Armenian community in Ukraine expressed its surprise to President
    Kocharyan due to his premature congratulations to Yanukovich, the
    paper states.

    They stressed in an address to the president that it was inadmissible
    to act so rashly when the entire global community has become annoyed
    by the falsification of the second round of voting and is awaiting
    the decision of Ukraine's Supreme Court concerning this issue. A film
    director, one of the founders of the Union of Armenians of Ukraine,
    Roman Balayan, signed the address to Kocharyan on behalf "of all the
    honest Armenians."

    Next, members of the union addressed the people of Ukraine and
    apologized for the actions of their president and declared their
    solidarity with Ukraine's people, "who strive to live in a country in
    which constitutional rights are protected." They also wished peace,
    welfare, harmony and prosperity to Ukraine and consider Ukraine as
    their second native land.

    In response to Kocharyan's statement, the press service of Victor
    Yushchenko says they are sure the president of Armenia, "as the
    representative of a very ancient nation of the world with great
    cultural heritage" will correct his mistake in the near future.
