Rice gave a similar message to Athens before she arrived in Ankara. It’s no secret that Washington suggested to the two capitals that it would be better to be directed towards the Azerbaijani pipeline. Will Turkey go along with this? Energy and Natural Resources Minister Hilmi Guler said that it was important for Turkey to continue with this pipeline.

PRESIDENT PUTIN IN ANNUAL MESSAGE Russia Will Survive and Be A Weighty Factor in the World by Rachel Douglas Russian President Vladimir Putin's 2006 State of the Federation message, delivered to the Federation Council on May 10, underscored the folly of trying to treat Russia as a misbehaving state or merely a source of "energy security," as Dick Cheney and others have recently done. Putin communicated tremendous determination to enhance Russia's status as a great power, moving in the direction of an economic policy shift in a way that won statements of hope from even some of his fiercest critics within Russia. The three main areas of Putin's address—the demographic crisis, national defense, and an array of economic policy measures—were familiar to his audience from previous years' messages.
