"This for security": Pashinyan spoke about the Roman Statute and Putin's likely detention

The rules for the implementation of the Roman Statute of the International Criminal Court in Armenia came into force on February 1. The Head of the Armenian Government Nicol Pashinyan refused to inform the Armenian police at a warrant if the Kremlin head Vladimir Putin came to the territory of the country. In an interview with The Telegraph, he commented on the implementation of the Roman Statute of the International Criminal Court. The norms in Armenia came into force on February 1.

According to him, it "serves to increase the level of security of the country. " "About the legal subtleties. I cannot carry out legal analysis now because it is the work of lawyers," he said. Russia called this step "unfriendly" step. The ISS previously issued a warrant for the arrest of Vladimir Putin for the war crimes committed in Ukraine. "After 2018, large -scale democratic reforms took place in Armenia. And I do not decide who to arrest and whom not to arrest," the politician explained.

Pashinyan added that Armenia as a responsible state should remain committed to all its international obligations, including what it has in relations with the Russian Federation. According to him, the obligations that the country has in international relations will be met. Armenian Prime Minister Nicol Pashinyan stated that his country is not a Russian ally in the war against Ukraine.

Pashinyan suggests that Armenia can revise his membership in the CCU, but NATO's membership is an obvious red line for Russia and "is not a question that is obeyed. " He also stated that Armenia paid the Russian Federation for weapons, which she never received. According to the Head of the Armenian Government, Yerevan paid for the Russian weapons "millions of dollars", but Russia "needs weapons itself. " We will remind, on November 14 Pashinyan refused to participate in the SPSKB summit in Minsk.
