Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda has commented on the Armenia-Azerbaijan normalization process, welcoming the efforts of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to establish peace in the South Caucasus.

“I welcome the efforts made by the leaders of the two countries, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and President Ilham Aliyev,” Nausėda said at a press briefing on the sidelines of the European Political Community Summit in Dublin.

“I think they have yielded very positive results, and peace has now been established between the two countries. I hope that relations between them will continue to improve in the future. This is very important for the European aspirations of both countries,” the Lithuanian President emphasized.
