Turkiye welcomes Armenia`s recognition of State of Palestine

ArmInfo. Turkiye has welcomed Armenia's recognition of the State of Palestine. 

"We welcome Armenia's decision to recognize the State of Palestine, 

following countries such as Spain, Ireland, Norway and Slovenia.

"As we have always emphasized, the recognition of Palestine is a 

requirement of international law, justice and conscience.

"Turkiye will continue its efforts for more countries to recognize 

Palestine."

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 Republic of Armenia 

categorically rejects the targeting of civilian infrastructure, 

violence against the civilian population and the hostage- taking of 

civilians during armed conflict, joining the international 

community's demands for their unconditional release.

The Republic of Armenia has joined the resolutions of the UN General 

Assembly calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Furthermore, the 

Republic of Armenia is genuinely committed to establishing peace and 

stability in the Middle East and lasting reconciliation between the 

Jewish and Palestinian peoples. On various international platforms, 

our position has consistently been in favour of a peaceful and 

comprehensive settlement of the Palestinian issue, and we support the 

"two-state" solution to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict. We are 

convinced that this is the only way to ensure that both Palestinians 

and Israelis can fulfil their legitimate aspirations.

Based on the foregoing and reaffirming our commitment to 

international law and the principles of equality, sovereignty, and 

peaceful coexistence of peoples, the Republic of Armenia recognizes 

the State of Palestine.
