VILNIUS - Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs is aware of the fact
that representatives of the Armenian and Azerbaijani communities in
Lithuania are organizing pickets today. "We hope that participants of
these pickets will present their positions in a moderate manner and
restrain from harsh rhetoric, will respect national symbols and not
instigate discord between the nations that have been peacefully
cohabitating in Lithuania for centuries," ministry's statement says.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs supported the concern raised by the EU
regarding the situation, which had resulted from actions taken by the
government of Azerbaijan in relation to Ramil Safarov and called on
the countries to find a way to defuse the tension and renew the
dialogue based on the generally recognized norms of international law.
We sincerely hope that Lithuanian citizens of the Armenian and
Azerbaijani background will contribute to these efforts.
