    Sha'th Receives Assurances From Armenia About Voting for the Membership
    in the United Nations

    Ramallah, 27 June (WAFA) - Nabil Sha'th, commissioner for external
    relations of Fatah, has received assurances from Armenian Minister
    of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian that his country will vote for
    accepting the membership of the independent Palestinian state in
    the United Nations and for all the other issues that concern the
    Palestinian people.

    This came during Sha'th's visit to Armenia - the first of its kind by
    a Palestinian official - during which he met with Foreign Minister
    Edward Nalbandian, the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
    Armenia, and the heads of Armenian parties.

    Sha'th visited the monuments of the historical city of Yerevan,
    the capital of Armenia, including the Armenian National Memorial,
    the [Eternal] Flame of the Unknown Soldier, the Museum of Armenian
    Architecture, and some ancient churches.

    Dr Sha'th also visited Ukraine and met with the country's minister
    of foreign affairs, the staff of his ministry, and the leaders of
    parties and the Ukrainian Parliament.

    The minister of state stressed Ukraine's recognition of the
    independent Palestinian state. It is worthy to mention that Sha'th
    and the minister of foreign had raised the Palestinian flag in 2001
    on its embassy in Kiev.

    The two sides discussed the September UN bid, the application for
    the membership in the United Nations, and the role of Ukraine in
    supporting the Palestinian position.
