    PRESS RELEASE
    February 1, 2005

    Statement on Ratification of the Peace Treaty in Sudan Today, the
    Parliament of Sudan unanimously ratified the agreement signed between
    the government of Sudan and the Sudanese People?s Liberation
    Movement. Thus, the two-decades long civil war in Sudan comes to an
    end.

    The ratification of the agreement between the two sides paves the way
    for the drafting of an interim constitution, which foresees holding a
    referendum on the independence of Southern Sudan in six years.

    The MFA of the Republic of Armenia welcomes the decision of the
    Sudanese authorities which is based on the principle of recognizing
    the right of a people to self-determination, and expresses the hope
    that the agreement signed between the sides opens a new page of peace
    and prosperity in the history of Sudan.
