YEREVAN (Sputnik) - Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan signed on Friday a law ratifying the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
"Khachaturyan has signed a law ratifying the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court signed on July 17, 1998 and accepting the application for retroactive recognition of the ICC jurisdiction," the statement published on the Armenian Presidency's website read.
On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow absolutely disagrees with the justification of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for the need to adopt the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) for the country's security. Peskov called the move "extremely hostile" to Russia, as the ICC had previously authorized the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Children's Ombudsman Lvova-Belova.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Armenia's decision to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) will have the most negative consequences for its relations with Moscow.
