  Marat Hakobyan: Armenian people have to consolidateSeptember 3, 2009 - 21:37 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "It's a pity some politicians use Armenian-Turkish rapprochement for personal PR," Head of Analitika.at.ua Information Analytical Center Marat Hakobyan told PanARMENIAN.Net "Politicians, who have not risen to power thanks to Armenian electors' wisdom, are trying to belittle Armenian diplomacy's achievements. Strangely, opinions of Armenian opposition synch with those of Azeri authorities. Now that official Yerevan is initiating important steps towards lifting blockade over Armenia, it's not the right time to play political games. At this crucial period, consolidated approach is important. Our power is in our unity, which was repeatedly proven by Armenian people," Hakobyan emphasized.
