VILNIUS, Jul 06, BNS - Azerbaijan wants Western countries to have
a fair understanding of the so-called Nagorno Karabakh problem,
Lithuania's Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius said after meeting with
Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev.
The region's geopolitical situation was high on the agenda of Kubilius'
meeting with the Azerbaijani president in Baku on Tuesday evening. The
Lithuanian delegation was on its way back to Vilnius from Afghanistan.
"The leader of Azerbaijan wants Europe and the Western world to have
a good and fair understanding of the so-called Karabakh problem,"
the Lithuanian PM told BNS after the meeting.
In his words, the meeting addressed the session of Armenian and
Azerbaijani leaders in the end of June, which yielded no results.
"The lack of success at the Kazan summit was caused by the fact
that Azerbaijan's northern neighbor is still unwilling to search for
the best balanced solution to the Karabakh problem," Kubilius said,
hinting to Azerbaijan's northern neighbor Russia.
Nagorno Karabakh, which is inhabited by Christian Armenians, split
away from the Muslim Azerbaijan after collapse of the Soviet Union. It
region remains locked in tensions - incidents are still frequent,
regardless of the 1994 armistice, which ended the Armenia-Azerbaijan
war.
No foreign state has recognized independence of Nagorno Karabakh,
a region that receives economic and military assistance from Armenia,
which enjoys political and military help from Russia.
