Hussein Al-Sheikh, Secretary General of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), welcomed Armenia’s move to recognize the Palestinian state.
“This is a victory for the right, justice, legitimacy and the struggle of our Palestinian people for liberation and independence,” Al-Sheikh said on social media.
“Thank you our friend Armenia,” he added.
Armenia announced Friday its recognition of the State of Palestine, the latest country to do so during the war in Gaza, saying it was against “violence towards civilian populations.”
