    LITHUANIA OFFERS ITS EURO-INTEGRATION EXPERIENCE TO AZERBAIJAN

    VILNIUS

    Lithuania is prepared to share its experience in conducting
    democratic reforms, integration into the EU and NATO, regional
    cooperation and peaceful solution of conflicts.

    According to a press release from the parliament, this opinion was
    voiced by Parliamentary Speaker Arturas Paulauskas, who is currently
    visiting Azerbaijan.

    This is the Lithuanian parliamentary speaker's first visit to
    Azerbaijan after the restoration of Lithuania's Independence in 1990.

    The parliamentary speaker has met with Azerbaijan's President Ilgam
    Aliev, President of Azerbaijan's State Oil Company Natik Aliev, Prime
    Minister Artur Rasizade, Parliamentary Speaker Murtuz Aleskerov,
    Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov.

    During the meetings with Lithuania's delegation, the leaders of
    Azerbaijan's parliament stressed that Azerbaijan was interested in
    experience in the legislation area, especially when it comes to
    regulation of the solution of social issues.

    The president of Azerbaijan approved of Lithuania's initiative to
    activate mutual ties and voiced an idea to set up an
    intergovernmental commission tasked with developing mutual
    relationship between Lithuania and Azerbaijan.

    The Lithuanian delegation ran a presentation for the leaders of
    Azerbaijan on the Klaipeda sea port and the possibilities of reaching
    remote EU markets from it.

    The meetings with Azerbaijan's president, leaders of the parliament
    and of the government focused on the possibilities to regulate the
    unresolved conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Mountain
    Karabah.

    Paulauskas accentuated that Lithuania was interested in solving the
    conflict peacefully and emphasized that the solving of this matter
    should have the widest possible representation of international
    community.

    Azerbaijan is demanding that Armenia should withdraw its troops from
    the Mountain Karabah.

    Later this week, the parliamentary speaker will also visit Georgia
    and Armenia.
