It is a sad fact that Lithuania has put forward an initiative to recognize Azerbaijan`s territorial integrity, Artur Aghabekyan, an ARF faction member, Co-Chairman of the Armenian-Lithuanian parliamentary friendship group told Armenian News-NEWS.am, as he commented on the draft resolution on a peace settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on the Lithuanian Parliament`s agenda. The draft indicates Azerbaijan`s territorial integrity.

"I am sorry if Lithuania, as a NATO and EU member, is trying to assume such a position on Nagorno-Karabakh," Aghabekyan said. He thinks that such a decision by a nation that considers Armenia its friend is Armenia`s diplomatic failure. This fact proves the need for greater political caution, he said.
