Yerevan, 29 June: Palestine expects that Armenia will be the first
to recognize its independence.
Mediamax reports referring to AFP that senior representative of the
Palestinian Administration Nabil Shaath, who visited Yerevan recently,
said this.
“We have information that at least 24 countries have decided to
recognize us before September,” senior Palestinian official Nabil
Shaath told reporters, adding that Armenia may become the first
among them.
A diplomatic source of Mediamax strongly refuted the statement of
the Palestinian representative today.
“There was no agreement on recognition of the Palestinian state’s
independence by Armenia reached during Nabil Shaath’s visit to
Yerevan,” the source emphasized.
