Azerbaijani President Takes Up Twitter


Another world leader is utilizing the power of social networking. First it was Medvedev, now it's Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.

From news.az:

The microblog will post references to presidential speeches, events attended by the president and video material. Subscribers will also be able to watch statements by President Aliyev.

Sources in the presidential administration said that the Azerbaijani version would allow closer ties to be developed with the public.
