    Armenia Ratifies International Treaty Banning Nuclear Explosions

    AP Worldstream;
    Jul 17, 2006

    Armenia has ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty,
    bringing to 133 the total number of countries who have endorsed
    the pact, the Vienna-based organization that administers the accord
    said Monday.

    Armenia formally notified the United Nations on July 12 that it had
    thrown its full support behind the pact, which bans test explosions
    or any other nuclear explosions, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty
    Organization said in a statement.

    In order to take effect, the treaty has to be ratified by 44 states _
    listed in an annex _ who participated in a 1996 disarmament conference
    and who at the time possessed nuclear power or research reactors. To
    date, only 34 have done so, the organization said. The holdouts include
    the United States, China, India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea.
