YEREVAN. President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan expressed gratitude to
Lithuania for adoption of the resolution recognizing the Armenian
Genocide by the Lithuanian Parliament.
`It indicates high spirituality of the Lithuanian people. Lithuanian
parliamentarians were not guided by political environment while making
the decision,' Serzh Sargsyan told reporters following a meeting with
Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite on Wednesday.
He also noted that the Lithuanian press has been covering the massacre
of Armenians since the end of 19th century, drawing parallels between
the fates of the two peoples.
On December 15, 2005 the Lithuanian Seimas adopted a resolution,
condemning the Armenian Genocide under Ottoman Turkey in 1915.
Lithuanian parliamentarians branded the massacre of the Armenian
people as genocide and called on the Turkish authorities to recognize
the historical fact.
