Armenia recognises Palestinian state
Recognition
Berlin, June 21, 2024 (dpa/NAN) Armenia is the latest country to recognise an independent Palestinian state, according to a statement released by the Foreign Ministry in Yerevan on Friday.
“The catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza and the ongoing military conflict are among the primary issues on the international political agenda that require settlement,” the ministry said.
Armenia had always regarded a two-state solution as the best way out of the conflict between Israel and the Palestine, it noted.
“We are convinced that this is the only way to ensure that both Palestinians and Israelis can fulfil their legitimate aspirations,” it said.
Israel, has, however, reacted with indignation and, according to the ministry, summoned the Armenian ambassador to deliver a rebuke.
In recent weeks, Norway, Spain, Ireland and Slovenia have recognised a Palestinian state to exert pressure for a resolution to the decades-old conflict.
However, there is currently no visible practical path to a two-state solution.
