YEREVAN—Armenia, on Saturday, recognized the newest nation to join the international community—South Sudan.
“The declaration of independent statehood in South Sudan is a realization of inviolable right of people to equality and self-determination and another example of civilized resolution of conflicts,” said a statement by Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian posted on the ministry’s Web site.
“The Republic of Armenia recognizes the Republic of South Sudan as an independent state,” added the statement.
Armenia welcomed the recent referendum to make South Sudan an independent country and has expressed that the creation of this country, based on the people’s will to determine their fate for themselves may serve as a precedent for the status of Karabakh.
