Azerbaijan sends note to Lithuania

27 February 2013 10:33 (UTC +04:00)

The Embassy told APA that the note of protest is related to the initiative of a group of the Seimas members to establish friendship group with separatist regime in Nagorno-Karabakh.

The Embassy told that a number of meetings have been held on this issue, Lithuanian officials have been informed about Azerbaijan's objection and concern: “The Azerbaijani Embassy presented a note of protest, we received verbal response and are currently waiting for an official response. This initiative has been put forward by a group of members of Lithuania-Armenia interparliamentary group, but does not express the country’s official position. Lithuania recognizes territorial integrity of our country, this step is a personal initiative of some parliamentarians. Azerbaijan’s embassy in Lithuania will do its best to prevent the establishment of this friendship group,” he said.
A group of members of Lithuania’s Seimas signed a declaration on the establishment of the friendship group with the unrecognized separatist “Nagorno Karabakh Republic”.
