/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Any individual and any state have the right to be
free and the right of territorial identity. This is a fundamental
principle," Lithuanian President Valdas Adamkus, who is in Yerevan
on a formal call, stated at a meeting with the students and teaching
staff of the Yerevan State University. When commenting on the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict settlement process the Lithuanian President remarked,
"What belongs to you should be yours." At that he said military
resolution of the conflict is inadmissible. A dialogue is essential
for the conflict settlement. I call on you to speak to each other. Via
mutual understanding and dialogue only it's possible to find the ways
for a problem solution," Mr. Adamkus said.
He also noted that with acquiring independence Lithuania set the
principle of correct relations as the priority principle of foreign
policy towards other states, including Russia. "Certainly we can
disagree on some issues but for the sake of the young generation
and our future we should find the way to overcome the discrepancies
available," Valdas Adamkus stated. In his words, the Lithuanian
foreign policy will not undergo any changes and will base on mutual
trust and respect.
"Armenia should join the European community, become a full member of
this family and undertake corresponding commitments. We work together
and our goals coincide," Mr. Adamkus said. When asked how Lithuania can
assist Armenia on the path to the European integration the president
said, "We practice such cooperation already.
Our specialists meet with Armenian counterparts and they exchange
experience. The political will for carrying out reforms in all the
sectors is essential here and the Armenian leadership possesses
this will.
We are open and ready for cooperation. We made some faults on the way
to the EU and do not want you to repeat the same mistakes," reported
