    experienced in European integration and intend to share it with their
    Armenian counterparts. He said that great changes can be seen in all
    spheres in Armenia.

    Noting Lithuania's great success in European integration and in the
    transition period, Kocharyan described Lithuania's experience as
    useful for Armenia because the two countries have a lot in common.

    started his working day with a tete-a-tete meeting with his Armenian
    counterpart. The Armenian speaker informed his Lithuanian counterpart
    about the constitutional reforms in the country, noting that Armenia
    has taken the path of European integration and it is important for
