GIVEN FEARED FOR IRELAND FUTURE

Setanta Sports Ireland

Oct 3 2011

New Villa manager Alex McLeish signed the Ireland international from
City in a £3.5million deal in July, on a five-year deal that will
see him up to his 40th birthday.

The Donegal man left Eastlands after losing his place in the City
first-team to England goalkeeper Joe Hart, and acknowledged that he
was unsure whether his lack of match-time would count against him at
international level.

When asked by Setanta Sports whether he could have lost his Ireland
place in the 2010 season, where he played just three Europa League
and one Carling Cup game for his club, he replied; “Easily. And I
could still lose my place this season even if playing regularly. It
is all about staying on top of your game. Last year, I was ring-rusty,
not playing every week in the Premier League.

“This year I have benefited playing more regularly. Going into Ireland
games, I feel sharper and more prepared than I did last year.”

Given is delighted that Ireland have a real chance to qualify for
Euro 2012, after Armenia’s shock 4-0 win in Slovakia set up a four-way
shoot out for the outright qualification and play-off place in Group B.

“Slovakia have to win their game at home to Russia to stay in the
qualification campaign. If that were the case, and we won our two
games (against Andorra on October 7 and Armenia on October 11),
we would qualify top of the group,” he explained.

“But that is easily said. Anything can happen, because Russia are a top
team who could go to Slovakia and win. Then it will be a shootout for
second place, with Armenia coming hard behind us as well by picking
up results in the last few games.

Keith Fahey’s late goal in Yerevan in September of last year gave
Ireland a narrow 1-0 win in the away game, and Given believes Armenia’s
results since then proved that their performance that night was not
a fluke.

“Armenia is a tough game,” he acknowledged.

“We have to concentrate on Andorra away first, but, depending on what
happens in the Slovakia-Russia game, it could be a massive game for
both countries.

The Armenia manager named his squad for the upcoming EURO 2012
qualifiers against Macedonia and Ireland.

These are two important games for Armenia as they attempt to finish in
the top 2 of the group. Their biggest challengers, Russia and Ireland,
each face Andorra once which likely means three points so Armenia
will need to beat Macedonia on 7 October to maintain the pressure
before their big showdown against Ireland on 11 October.

The biggest name on the Armenian squad is Henrik Mkhitaryan from
Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk. If anyone watched the Shakhtar
Donetsk vs. APOEL game in the Champions League, that game featured
Mkhitaryan going up against Macedonian Ivan Trickovski from APOEL.

They also have three players from Metalurh Donetsk, the same team
as Mario Gjurovski who was added to the Macedonian squad today as a
replacement due to injury problems.

Here is the Armenian squad:

Goalkeepers: Roman Berezovsky (Khimki, Russia), Gevorg Kasparov (Mika)

Defenders: Sargis Hovsepyan, Artur Yuspashyan, Artak Yedigaryan,
Varazdat Aroyan (all Pyunik), Robert Arzumanyan (Jagiellonia,

Valery Aleksanyan (Sanat Naft, Iran)

Donetsk, Ukraine), Zaven Badoyan (Impulse), Karlen Lazarian

Forwards: Gevorg Ghazaryan, Marcos Pizzelli (both Metalurh Donetsk,

ARMENIE

La croissance economique en Armenie s’est accelere ces derniers mois
et est maintenant sur la voie pour atteindre la cible de 4,6 pour
cent projete par les autorites a Erevan a annonce le Premier ministre
Tigran Sarkissian.

Citant des evaluations ” d’experts ” du gouvernement, Tigran Sarkissian
a dit que le taux de croissance etait de 4,5 pour cent entre janvier
et août. ” Cela signifie que notre programme [macroeconomique] pour
2011 est un programme totalement realiste ” a-t-il dit aux ministres
du gouvernement pendant une session hebdomadaire de son cabinet.

Tigran Sarkissian a cite les secteurs de la production industrielle
et de l’agriculture comme facteurs clefs derrière cette performance.

Selon le Service National de la Statistique (NSS), la production
industrielle an Armenie a grimpe de 12,8 pour cent dans la première
moitie de 2011 grâce notamment au secteur de l’extraction et de
la metallurgie.

Les donnees du NSS montrent aussi que le secteur agricole est en hausse
de 2,3 pour cent après une baisse de 14 pour cent l’annee dernière. La
recession a ralenti la croissance economique a 2,6 pour cent en 2010.

Le secteur de construction, moteur principal de la croissance a deux
chiffres de l’Armenie entre 2001 et 2007, reste en recession.

Tigran Sarkissian a minimise la baisse, soutenant que l’economie ne
depend plus lourdement de la construction. ” La part de la construction
dans le PIB s’est contracte de moitie ” a-t-il dit. ” D’autre part,
il y a eu une diversification de notre economie, qui reduit les
risques de fluctuation en termes de croissance economique “.

” C’est-a-dire nous ne risquons pas la mem sorte de declin sans
precedent que nous avions en 2009 ” a ajoute le Premier ministre.

L’economie armenienne s’est contractee de plus de 14 pour cent en 2009.

ARMENIE : DES DEPUTES UMP ACCUSENT LE PS DE DOUBLE LANGAGE

FRANCE

Le president armenien Serge Sarkissian, en visite en France, a ete
recu jeudi par le maire de Paris Bertrand Delanoë, ce qui a suscite une
vive reaction de deputes UMP qui ont accuse le PS de “double langage”
vis-a-vis de l’Armenie et de la Turquie.

“Il faut le redire : le peuple armenien a subi un genocide” a declare
M. Delanoë en accueillant M. Sarkissian a l’Hôtel de Ville. Il faut
“le reconnaître, certes, mais aussi qu’il devienne impossible,
interdit de le nier”, a-t-il ajoute.

Dans un communique publie peu avant cette reception, six deputes
UMP ont declare que “seuls quelques socialistes ont le courage
de reconnaître le genocide armenien et souhaitent penaliser son
negationnisme, alors que sa grande majorite ne pense qu’a faire entrer
la Turquie dans l’Union europeenne.”

“Obsede par ses primaires et son operation market-demago-populiste,
le Parti socialiste adopte un double langage afin de menager la chèvre
et le chou. Nous sommes decus que nos armis armeniens soient tombes
dans le panneau”, ecrivent Richard Mallie, Nicolas Dhuicq, Philippe
Vitel, Bernard Carayon, Claude Bodin et Christian Vanneste.

Une proposition de loi socialiste reprimant la negation du genocide
armenien de 1915 a ete adoptee en 2006 a l’Assemblee nationale,
malgre l’absence de nombreux deputes de gauche et de droite, et a
ete rejetee en mai dernier par le Senat.

Francois Hollande, candidat a la primaire socialiste a declare lundi
qu’il demanderait “a la majorite de gauche au Senat de reprendre”
cette proposition de loi.

Le president Sarkissian a rencontre jeudi Nicolas Sarkozy et Francois
Fillon, et assiste avec le chef de l’Etat francais a un concert de
bienfaisance pour l’Armenie de Charles Aznavour, a l’Olympia.

NKR MFA: “THE NKR CITIZENS ENJOYED THE RIGHT TO FREE CHOICE – THE INHERENT RIGHT OF ALL THE NATIONS IN THE WORLD”

Noyan Tapan
01.10.2011

Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic (NKR)

on the recent initiatives of Azerbaijan and reaction of Baku related
to the municipal elections in the NKR:

“The September 18, 2011 municipal elections in the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic were another successful demonstration of the democratic
process. The authorities formed via free voting, which was evaluated
as such by numerous international observers, are called to continue the
permanent process of increasing the Karabakh people’s self-organization
and consolidating the principles of an open and democratic society,
which is taking place in our Republic.

The NKR citizens enjoyed the right to free choice – the inherent
right of all the nations in the world. In this context, we consider
any criticism of the democratic processes in the NKR as groundless
and contradicting the modern tendencies of developing international
relations.

Besides, the NKR MFA considers it necessary to remind Azerbaijan that
its attempts to deprive the people of Nagorno Karabakh of the right
to democratic development and consolidation of a civil society are
doomed to failure, as well as expresses its concern about the lack
of similar processes in the neighboring Republic.

Also, the NKR Foreign Ministry appeals to the international community
for displaying a constructive and successive attitude towards all
the processes in the NKR, which contribute to the formation of an
open and democratic region of the South Caucasus.
