Lithuania
President Dalia Grybauskaitė met with Armenia's President Serzh
Sargsyan.
The two Presidents discussed Lithuanian-Armenian bilateral relations,
the potential for economic cooperation, Armenia's cooperation with
the European Union, and Lithuanian OSCE Chairmanship priorities.
The President of Lithuania, who is visiting the South Caucasian
countries as the head of the OSCE Chairing State, underlined that
only peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can ensure
sustainable peace and stability.
"The protracted blood-shedding conflicts have already caused much
pain to the affected nations. Any further hostilities would bring
yet more pain and cost more lives. I urge and invite all conflicting
parties to refrain from using force and I call on heads of states of
the region to demonstrate political will and look for exclusively
peaceful solutions. The international community, OSCE, has already
proposed quite a few measures to boost trust. Now real steps must be
made to implement them," President Dalia Grybauskaitė said.
The President also underlined Lithuania welcomed Armenia's progress
in the EU association negotiations and was ready to share its
euro-integration experience and carry out twinning projects.
The Lithuanian and Armenian leaders also discussed nuclear safety
issues. According to President Grybauskaitė, Lithuania suggests that
Armenia perform safety tests on its nuclear power plants. The Armenian
President said his country was open for such suggestions.
