LITHUANIAN PRESIDENT ADVISES ARMENIAN PEOPLE NOT TO BE SILENT IN CAUSE OF INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
Yerevan, April 26. ArmInfo. Lithuanian President Valdas Adamkus advises
the Armenian people not to be silent in the cause of international
recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
During his meeting with Yerevan State University professors and
students today, Adamkus said that the Armenian people must do its
best to prove to the world that the Genocide actually happened. Still
it is a hard job to give advice in such a delicate issue. Do as you
think right. I believe you are right, Adamkus said.
Asked if the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the Lithuanian
parliament may aggravate Lithuania’s relations with Turkey, Adamkus
said that the key principle of Lithuania’s foreign policy is mutual
respect. And if Turkey has any problems, Lithuania will remind it of
this principle.
The same principle is applied in Lithuania’s relations with
Russia. Countries may have differences over certain issue but they
should try to solve them, including by involving their youths. This
is the only way of civilized policy, Adamkus said.
