Lithuania called on the West to impose an arms embargo on Georgia  - 1

Western countries should ban the supply of weapons to Georgia . "When the Belarusian government violently suppressed protests in Minsk in 2010, the European Union imposed an embargo on the supply of military equipment and weapons. I believe that we should discuss similar measures with regard to Georgia,”, said the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Gabrielius Landsbergis on the air of the television company CNN.

According to the head of the foreign policy department of the republic, it is inadmissible that the weapons supplied from the West of Georgia be used against the civilian population. “Why are we still exporting military equipment that the government uses against its own citizens?" Landsbergis noted.
