ArmInfo. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan met with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya in
Vilnius. Ms. Tikhanovskaya herself, as well as Armenian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ani Badalyan, reported on the X (formerly Twitter), publishing a message with a photo from the meeting.
"Great honor to meet ArmenianFM Ararat Mirzoyan in Vilnius. I thanked
Armenia for its firm stance against Lukashenka's regime & expressed
hope for continued close cooperation between Armenia & our democratic
forces. The people of Armenia & Belarus deserve a free, democratic &
European future," Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya wrote.
Notably, Belarusian opposition politician Svetlana Tikhanovskaya
lives in Vilnius. On June 13, in the National Assembly of the
Republic of Armenia, RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced that
he would refrain from visiting Belarus while Alexander Lukashenko is
president there. Pashinyan noted that Lukashenko had recently stated
that his country had participated in the 44-day war, believed in and
wished victory to Azerbaijan. "And you want me to go to Belarus after
that and discuss issues related to the CSTO with the president of
that country?" the RA Prime Minister asked. Immediately after this
statement, Yerevan recalled its ambassador to Minsk, and the
Belarusian side did the same.
