    LITHUANIAN AMBASSADOR TO AZERBAIJAN: "I DO NOT THINK THAT A LITHUANIAN ACTOR'S VISIT TO NAGORNO KARABAKH WILL HAVE SERIOUS IMPACT ON OUR RELATIONS WITH AZERBAIJAN"

    "We would like to see more Azerbaijani investors in Lithuania"

    Baku. Anakhanim Hidayatova-APA. "The relations between Azerbaijan and
    Lithuania have good groundwork, the sides have signed more than 20
    agreements between governments and agencies," Lithuanian Ambassador
    to Azerbaijan ArtÅ"ras Žurauskas said in his interview to APA.

    Ambassador said the political relations between the two countries
    were strong enough.

    "Cultural-humanitarian cooperation, mutual relations in the sphere of
    tourism are developing. Business and economy are special directions of
    our relations, special attention must be paid to the opportunities of
    development in these spheres. Azerbaijan and Lithuania can cooperate
    in the spheres of transport, power engineering, ecology. Construction
    boom is observed in Azerbaijan. Lithuania's construction industry is
    perfect and can compete with Turkey. Moreover, we would like to see
    more Azerbaijani investors in Lithuania," he said.

    In his interview, the ambassador also commented on the note of
    Azerbaijan to the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding
    the participation of a music group from Lithuania in the festival held
    by Armenian separatists in the occupied Azerbaijan's Nagorno Karabakh
    territory: "I do not think that a Lithuanian actor's visit to Nagorno
    Karabakh will have serious impact on our relations with Azerbaijan. It
    doesn't mean that we don't recognize the occupation fact. The creative
    person's visit doesn't reflect the official position of Lithuania. The
    citizens of Lithuania have the law "On freedom of movement" and the
    borders are not closed. We do not hold anyone by force, the citizen
    himself decides where to go and what may follow. Everyone in Lithuania
    knows that if someone visits the Azerbaijan's occupied territories,
    his or her entry to Azerbaijan will be automatically prohibited. I
    would like to note that this visit was not organized by government
    agencies and we explained our position to our counterparts in Baku.
