Which of the following countries does NOT recognize Armenia as an independent country?

Pakistan does not recognize Armenia as an independent country. The reason behind this is rooted in the Kashmir conflict between Pakistan and India. Pakistan supports the position of Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, where Armenia and Azerbaijan have been in dispute over the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Due to Pakistan's close ties with Azerbaijan, which is involved in the conflict against Armenia, Pakistan does not officially recognize Armenia as an independent country.
