The two leaders took some time off to sample Key West's recreational offerings. Aliyev was spotted sipping a pina colada at the Havana Docks lounge in the Pier House hotel where he is staying. Kocharyan was briefly seen strolling Duval Street, the island's main thoroughfare.

Everybody is Waiting Milliyet Columnist Sami Kohen writes on the recent economic crisis and people's expectations.

The countries upon whom we have pinned our hopes, are becoming impatient, waiting to see what Turkey will do before delivering on their promises of financial aid. When the crisis erupted in Turkey, some believed that all our friends and allies, in particular the US, would lend us the money required. Some even believed the words of support saying financial aid would be given in no time. We do not know if, at present there is anybody still expecting any aid from abroad. If so, they will be highly disappointed as no country is eager to help without first seeing what the Turkish Government is planning to do.
