Yerevan’s decision to participate in the Rome Statute “against the background of quasi-orders” issued by The Hague for the arrest of several Russian officials is causing tangible harm to Russian-Armenian relations, both symbolically and practically, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.

“Our attitude toward the ICC is well known, as is our view on Armenia’s decision to join this so-called ‘body.’ This is no secret to our Armenian colleagues,” Zakharova stated during a press briefing on Wednesday. Her remarks were in response to Yerevan’s recent declaration of readiness to cooperate with the ICC to strengthen international legal norms.

Zakharova expressed skepticism about Armenia’s collaboration with the ICC, suggesting that while the goal of strengthening international legal norms might seem understandable, “the practice of two decades of this pseudo-court’s work suggests otherwise.”
