Lithuania supports the idea of a new accord that would deepen Armenia's relations the European Union after the South Caucasus state's recent accession to a Russian-led alliance, according to a senior Lithuanian official.
Deputy Foreign Minister Rolandas Krisciunas said his country is ready, in principle, to back an Armenian proposal to incorporate some political and economic provisions of an abandoned Association Agreement between the EU and Armenia into such a deal.
"Lithuania will be very supportive of any positive steps towards a deeper and broader [EU-Armenia] relationship, and of course we are looking at that," Krisciunas told RFE/RL's Armenian service (Azatutyun.am) in Lithuania's capital Vilnius. "We know that there was an incentive to have certain elements which were in the Association Agreement in a possible new type of agreement with Armenia. So we are open to these ideas and are discussing them."
