Lithuanian Prime Minister congratulates Aliyev on  establishment of  peace between Yerevan and Baku

ArmInfo. During a meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Lithuanian Prime Minister  Inga Ruginiene,  congratulated him on the establishment of peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

According to Azerbaijani media, Aliyev claimed that Azerbaijan was  the initiator of peace in the region and of efforts to establish   trade relations between Yerevan and Baku. However, Aliyev omitted the  fact that Azerbaijan was the initiator of the war in the region and  the ethnic cleansing in Artsakh.

Aliyev then boasted about settling occupied Armenian villages with  Azerbaijanis and building supposed villages and towns, although in  reality, in most cases, the Azerbaijani side either wipes out entire  villages or pretends to build them, simply appropriating the property  of the people of Artsakh. 

The meeting also touched upon cooperation between Azerbaijan and  Lithuania within international organizations, in addition to the  bilateral agenda. In this context, it was emphasized that Lithuania  has always supported the development of Azerbaijan's relations with  the European Union.  The sides also exchanged views on regional  issues.
