Lithuanian Ambassador to Baku Downplays Music Group Visit to Artsakh

12:03, November 6, 2012

In an interview given to Azeri Pres Agency (APA), Lithuanian Ambassador to Azerbaijan Arturas Zurauskas commented on a protest filed by Baku to Lithuania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the participation of a music group from Lithuania at a festival in Karabakh.

APA wrote that the festival "was held by Armenian separatists in Azerbaijan's occupied Nagorno Karabakh territory."

In response, Ambassador Zurauskas is reported saying: "I do not think that a Lithuanian actor's visit to Nagorno Karabakh will have serious impact on our relations with Azerbaijan. It doesn't mean that we don't recognize the occupation fact."
