Lithuania will soon have the embassy of Armenia, Armenpress reports.
At the end of last week, Armenia's Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh
Kocharyan presented the draft decision on the establishment of the
embassy at an off-site Cabinet meeting in the town of Artashat,
Ararat province.
The deputy foreign minister recalled that in 1991 Lithuania was the
first to recognise Armenia's independence. In 2005 Lithuania's Seimas
recognized the fact of the Armenian Genocide, he added. Armenia has
no embassy in the Baltic States. The ties with the Baltic countries
have been ensured by the Armenian ambassador to Poland who is residing
in Warsaw, writes LETA/ELTA.
The embassy in Vilnius will also contribute to more effective ties
with Estonia and Latvia, the Armenian deputy foreign minister said.
Lithuania established its embassy in Yerevan in 2007.
