Palestine, Armenia Officially Announce Establishment of Diplomatic Relations

New York, MINA – Palestine and Armenia officially announced on Saturday the establishment of diplomatic relations aimed at enhancing bilateral ties at all levels.

According to Anadolu Agency, the announcement came on the margins of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, according to a statement by the office of Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa.

According to the statement, Mustafa signed a joint declaration with Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan to formalize the diplomatic relationship between the State of Palestine and the Republic of Armenia.

Mustafa praised Armenia’s recognition of the State of Palestine, viewing it as a “real investment in peace” and a practical step towards supporting the two-state solution aimed at ending Israeli occupation and establishing an independent Palestinian state.

The prime minister also expressed gratitude for Armenia’s positive votes on resolutions related to Palestine.

On June 21, the Armenian Foreign Ministry officially recognized the State of Palestine, making Armenia the 149th country to take this significant step.
