    ARMENIANS OF LITHUANIA HONOR VICTIMS OF SUMGAIT MASSACRES

    February 28, 2013 | 12:58

    Armenian community of Lithuania on Wednesday organized a picket
    outside of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Vilnius to honor victims of
    the Sumgait massacres.

    Local police said the event brought together around 100 Armenians. The
    demonstrators waived Armenian flag and held banners which said:
    "We Will Never Forget Armenian Massacres in Sumgaite, Baku, Maragh,"
    "Lithuanians Aren't The Nation Who Can Be Bought for Caviar and Oil,"
    "Shame on you Azeri", 15min.lt newspaper reported.

    Representatives of local Armenian community said the action was held
    not only to honor the memory of Armenian victims "but also to remind
    Lithuania that Lithuania and Armenia were together 25 years ago and
    we want to be together now."

    Local media said a few dozens of Azerbaijanis also held an action
    near the Embassy.

    On Tuesday a group of Lithuanian MPs adopted a protocol to create
    a Group of Friendship in Seimas of the Lithuanian Republic with the
    Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
