Rouhani: Trump's decision on Golan contradicts international law
STEPANAKERT, MARCH 26, ARTSAKHPRESS: “No one could imagine that a person in America comes and gives land of a nation to another occupying country, against international laws and conventions... Such action is unprecedented in the current century,” Rouhani was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.
The US President Donald Trump signed on Monday a declaration recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The UN Security Council did not recognize this decision and has repeatedly called the annexation illegal and called on Israel to return the Golan to the Syrians.
