YEREVAN, August 21. /ARKA/. Lithuania is expected to approve
Wednesday the decision to open its embassy in Yerevan on October
1, RIA Novosti reports referring to Lithuanian governmental press
office’s information.

Diplomatic ties between the two countries were established on November
21, 1991.

Now Lithuania is represented in Armenia by the honorable consul from
Lithuanian embassy in Russia, and Armenia is represented in Lithuania
through its embassy in Warsaw.

The decision is motivated by Lithuania’s special interest in South
Caucasus, which is considered among Lithuanian foreign policy’s
top-priority focuses.
