PRESS RELEASE
31-05-2006
Acting Press Secretary Vladimir Karapetian Replies to
Question by Arminfo News Agency
QUESTION: As a result of the referendum held in Montenegro on May 21, that
Balkan state has effectively become independent. It is notable that the
result of the referendum has been universally recognized which gives
additional legitimacy to Montenegro's independence. What's the reaction of
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia to the creation
of a new state in Europe?
MR. KARAPETIAN: We welcome the decision of the authorities and people of
Montenegro to create an independent state. We congratulate and wish the
Montenegrin people the best of luck in the process of state building.
In such a peaceful dissolution, Armenia attaches importance to the fact that
the Montenegrin people's right of self-determination was expressed through a
referendum, which proves that in international relations, a referendum
remains a universally recognized and civilized means of resolving such
problems and of expressing a people's right.
