February 27, 2013 - 15:45 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan presented a protest note to Lithuanian
Foreign Ministry over an initiative of establishing a friendship group
with Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijani Embassy in Lithuania told Trend,
the news agency reported.
"This is an initiative of several pro-Armenian members of the
Lithuanian Seimas and it lacks an official ground," the Embassy said.
Azerbaijani Ambassador to Lithuania Hasan Mammadzade has already met
with the leadership of the Lithuanian Parliament and Foreign Ministry
in this regard.
"At both meetings, Lithuanian officials confirmed that the initiative
is not the country's official position. Lithuania's official position
on Karabakh conflict remains unchanged," the Embassy said.
At present, the Embassy expects an official response to the note.
On February 25, a group of Lithuanian MPs adopted a declaration on the
establishment of a friendship group with the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
