Armenia condemns North Korea ballistic ‪‎missile launch

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia's Foreign Ministry issued a statement Sunday, February 7, slamming North Korea's rocket launch.

“We condemn the launch of the ballistic ‪‎missile‬ by the ‪DPRK‬, which violates ‪UNSC‬ resolutions and raises tension in the ‪Korean‬ peninsula,” the Ministry said.

North Korea launched a long-range rocket carrying what it called a satellite, drawing renewed international condemnation just weeks after it carried out a nuclear bomb test.

Critics of the rocket program say it is being used to test technology for a long-range missile.

North Korea said the launch of the satellite Kwangmyongsong-4, named after late leader Kim Jong Il, was a "complete success" and it was making a polar orbit of Earth every 94 minutes. The launch order was given by his son, leader Kim Jong Un.
