Lithuania supports the efforts of the parties to solve the Karabakh
conflict on the basis of the negotiation process and the diplomatic
work of the OSCE Minsk Group. The Foreign Minister of Lithuania told a
news conference in Yerevan today that all the conflicts of the region
must be solved through mutual consent reached in a peaceful way and
based on international norms.
"We do not interfere with domestic affairs of other countries. The
only thing we can suggest the countries of the region, to Armenia and
Azerbaijan, is the experience of cooperation of the Baltic states,
which has become a "political brand" and a "brand of success," the
Foreign Minister of Lithuania declared.
RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian presented the current stage of
the Karabakh settlement process: the parties are waiting for the next
steps, the Co-Chairs are trying to contact the parties for possible
unilateral meetings. According to the Minister, during the latest
visit to the region the mediators got some insight into the stance
of the parties on non-agreed questions and are trying to find new
formulations to suggest the parties.
Vartan Oskanian expects either a meeting or a written suggestion.
