Heard the Kremlin's fears: Armenia does not arrest Putin for the ISS Order
Putin's arrest warrant was issued by the International Criminal Court (ICS) on March 17. On March 24, Yerevan recognized the MCC Statute of the Armenian Constitution. The Kremlin immediately responded to this decision and called it "unacceptable. " Armenia was warned of extremely negative consequences for her relations with the Russian Federation. After that, Arshakian says that Yerevan listened to the fears of Russia and can make the Roman statute not harming relations with Moscow.
"The decision of the Constitutional Court (Armenia) does not recognize the guilty of anyone, in no question and does not require steps towards the arrest of anyone," he added. Further, Vesespicker spoke about a recent signing with another country, under which the Roman Statute should not influence bilateral relations. What kind of country it was not specified. "Such a settlement can be with Russia, it is only one of the options.
One thing is clear: we have heard the fears expressed by the Russian Federation," Archazan said. The ratification of the Roman Statute, according to the politician, will give Armenia tools to hold the Azerbaijan military for crimes during an armed conflict in Nagorny Karabakh. The ISS found the Russian dictator guilty of a war crime in Ukraine - the violent deportation of children from temporarily occupied territories to Russia.
The arrest warrant was also issued against the Russian Commissioner for the Rights of the Child Maria Lviv-Belova. On February 16, she thanked Putin for "the opportunity to adopt" a child from Ukrainian Mariupol. According to a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova, Russia did not sign the Roman Statute of the ISS, so it will not comply with its decisions.
