Epress.am News from Armenia
Second president of the Republic of Armenia Robert Kocharian apparently has his own unofficial fan club, the main aim of which, according to those behind the initiative, is “proper coverage of [Kocharian’s] activities.”
According to local blogger ditord, the domain name was registered and the site launched on May 10 of this year, while a promotional video was uploaded on May 30, “one day ahead of a key opposition rally in Armenia.”
In the video, passers-by in the streets of Yerevan, when asked who they’d like to see as Armenia’s next president, unanimously responded Robert Kocharian, emphasizing his human qualities and his work in developing the country over the past 10 years.
The website (only available in Armenian and Russian), has tabs to such sections as personal information, family, news and media. One section is titled in English, “Well Done, Mr. President!” There are also sections particularly geared toward the media and news outlets.
According to ditord, the page was created by someone by the name of Suren Hovnanyan, “who is apparently working for Edram.am, judging from his website registration contact details.”
The description on the site’s home page says Kocharian’s speeches, interviews, photos, videos describing his activities, people’s opinions regarding his work, as well as information about his hobbies and his family will be uploaded after Jun. 1, when the site is fully functional.
“If you have material describing the second president, we would be happy to receive it to publish it in the necessary sections of the site,” add those behind the initiative.
