Other then Pakistan, 192 UN states have agreed that Armenia is its own Republic.
Pakistan has played huge parts in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which is a dispute between Azerbaijan, and Armenia over certain territories.
Even though Pakistan does not recognize Armenia, Armenia is not in threat to being invaded by Azerbaijan as it has support from other nations in the UN.
After Armenia was declared independent in 1991, it joined the UN a year later. Many countries agreed to accept Armenia as independent of any other country, which at first all countries agreed until 2015, when the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was getting larger.
Pakistan declared it would support Azerbaijan in the conflict and declared "recognizing Armenia's independence is contingent on the latter leaving Karabakh." They soon withdrew recognition of Armenia completely stating Armenia rightfully belonged to Azerbaijan. This led to the de facto, Republic of Artsakh allying itself with Armenia, while Turkey and Pakistan aided the Azerbaijani's.
The only African country in the UN Armenia has relations to is Egypt, but every country in Africa recognizes Armenia, though not all recognize the Armenian genocide.
The only country in Oceania that has relations with Armenia is Australia, but all countries in Oceania recognize Armenia, though not all officially recognize the Armenian genocide.
