How Armenia Recorded Its Recognition of Palestine
The June 2024 announcement and a later UN statement document two diplomatic steps.
On June 21, 2024, Armenia’s foreign ministry announced that it recognised the State of Palestine. It cited the humanitarian situation in Gaza and reiterated support for a two-state solution. Armenia transmitted the statement to the United Nations, where it entered the General Assembly and Security Council records.
In October 2025, Armenia’s deputy permanent representative told the Security Council that diplomatic relations had subsequently been established during the General Assembly’s 79th session. That chronology separates recognition from the establishment of formal relations. The records give Armenia’s stated rationale and contain no evidence attributing the decision to local protest disruption.
