Armenia condemns North Korea ballistic missile launch
Armenia's Foreign Ministry issued a statement Sunday, February 7, condemning 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.
