Russian Foreign Ministry: Ratification of the Rome Statute will have the most negative consequences

The Russian Foreign Ministry has responded to the decision on the ratification of the Rome Statute in the permanent commission on legal issues of the National Assembly of Armenia. This information was reported by the TASS agency.

“The ratification of the Rome Statute will have the most negative consequences for bilateral relations. Russia hopes that there will be forces in the Armenian National Assembly that will not support the toxic decision regarding the Rome Statute,” the Russian Foreign Ministry stated according to the agency.

It has also been noted that after the ratification of the Rome Statute by Armenia, it will be difficult to envision visits from the Russian leadership to the republic, the Ministry emphasized.

Recall that the permanent commission on legal issues of the National Assembly provided a positive conclusion on the draft law on ratification of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court at today’s meeting. The document will be discussed in the plenary session of the parliament.
