Lithuanian Seimas to discuss resolution on Nagorno Karabakh conflict

50 members of the Lithuanian Seimas (parliament) signed a resolution on Nagorno Karabakh conflict and the document will be discussed during the Seimas’ spring session, said Speaker of the Lithuanian Seimas Irena Degutienė at a press conference dedicated to the results of her visit to Azerbaijan.

“This resolution proposes peaceful solution to the conflict and war renunciation. We consider developing the discussions in the spring session. Lithuania has a standing position on solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. The conflict must be solved peacefully without bloodshed. Lithuanian foreign minister will visit Azerbaijan soon as the OSCE Chairman-in-Office. There is no pressure”, she said.

At first Irena Degutienė didn’t answer the question that “Lithuania recognized so-called “Armenian genocide” in 2005 and do you think to recognize the Khojaly tragedy committed by Armenians as genocide?”, but then she answered the question. She said Lithuanian Seimas was an institution elected on the democratic basis and every member of the parliament could express own opinion. This issue can be discussed within the framework of the parliament’s friendship groups. “Armenian genocide” was recognized by former parliament. Only three members of that parliament saved their seats after the elections”.
