ANKARA (A.A) Feb 9 - Turkey welcomed the recognition of the referendum results --favoring Southern Sudan's independence-- by Sudan's government.

The Ministry said Turkey would continue to support the people of Sudan without any discrimination between the north and the south.
"The messages given by Sudan's government in the aftermath of the referendum, emphasizing peace, cooperation and friendly relations, are praiseworthy," the Ministry said.
