VILNIUS, Sep 17, BNS - Lithuania's Defense Minister Rasa Jukneviciene
has dismissed the current situation of Nagorno Karabakh as
unsatisfactory, saying the long-standing conflict between Azerbaijan

Minister Colonel General Safar Abiyev.
According to the press release issued by the Lithuanian Defense
