Armenian FM, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya meet in Vilnius

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.
