    6 Jun 05

    [Presenter] A delegation led by Arturas Paulauskas, chairman of the
    Lithuanian Seimas, is visiting Baku. President Ilham Aliyev received
    the delegation today. Aliyev stressed that there are good
    opportunities for improving bilateral relations between the
    countries. For his part, Paulauskas said the visit aims to strengthen
    relations between Azerbaijan and Lithuania. Then he informed Aliyev
    about the work of Lithuania's parliamentary entities and said they
    were ready to share their experience with their Azerbaijani
    counterparts.

    Parliament Speaker Murtuz Alasgarov also received Paulauskas
    today. The meeting discussed mainly the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict.

    [Presenter over video of the meeting] Mr Alasgarov said a friendship
    commission is operating between the Azerbaijani and Lithuanian
    parliaments. He said annual trade between the two countries amounts to
    3m dollars. He added that Azerbaijan is interested in improving ties
    with Lithuania. Alasgarov also said that Azerbaijan will hold
    parliamentary elections under the first-past-the-post system this
    autumn.

    Alasgarov said the Armenian occupation of Azerbaijan's territories is
    a national tragedy. He said Lithuania's support in international
    organizations is important for Azerbaijan to secure its territorial
    integrity.

    Paulauskas said Lithuania would do its utmost to make sure that the
    OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs step up their work on the settlement of the
    conflict. The Lithuanian government believes that the Nagornyy
    Karabakh conflict can be resolved only by preserving Azerbaijan's
    territorial integrity and hopes that the negotiations will yield
    positive results, Paulauskas said.
