The ratification of the ICC Rome Statute by Armenia will
\nmost negatively affect the relations between the two countries. Yerevan has not
\nconsidered Moscow’s proposals concerning the statute. The Russian Ministry of
\nForeign Affairs issued a statement on this.

“The Armenian partners were informed of Russia’s stance on
\nthe matter from the outset: The ratification of the ICC Rome Statute by Armenia
\nis unacceptable to Russia in view of the fact that that organization issued an
\narrest warrant for Russia’s head of government.
<\/p><\/p>\n\n
We considered Yerevan’s initiative to conclude a bilateral
\nagreement. Moscow proposed a compromise solution that would benefit both sides.
\nUnfortunately, this was not taken into account; instead, a political decision
\nhas been made in Armenia to ratify the Rome Statute. This will most negatively
\naffect the relations between the two countries. After the ratification of the
\nRome Statute by Armenia, the visits of the Russian leadership to Armenia will
\nbe difficult to imagine,” reads the statement.
