Armenia welcomes South Sudan referendum

“Armenia welcomes the South Sudan referendum. The preliminary results of the referendum, which no doubt will not differ from the final results, again stipulated that free self-determination is the indivisible right of every people,” Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian told the Armenpress news agency, commenting upon the preliminary results of the South Sudan referendum.

According to the Minister, this choice by the South Sudan people is “the latest example of triumph of the self-determination right and a right way of solving current problems” over 60 years, since the establishment of UN.

“We hope South Sudan, choosing the way of mastering its own fate, will succeed in establishment of independent statehood,” Edward Nalbandian said.
