ArmInfo. Armenia is acting extremely hostile towards Russia when it plans to accede to the Rome  Statute. Russian President Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated.

"Armenia knows very well that we are not parties (to the Rome  Statute), and Armenia is well aware of the absolutely difficult  decision taken on the basis of this statute. We know that this is  very well known in Yerevan," Peskov said.

The Kremlin also hopes, Peskov clarified, that Armenia's ratification  of the Rome Statute will not negatively affect relations between  Moscow and Yerevan.

Earlier today, the RA NA Standing Committee on State and Legal  Affairs issued a positive conclusion on the Rome Statute submitted  for ratification. Now the issue will be discussed at the plenary  session of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia.

In addition, today, on September 28, the Armenia's Representative on  International Legal Affairs Yeghishe Kirakosyan, informed that  Yerevan proposed to Moscow to sign a bilateral agreement to legally  resolve the issue of the Rome Statute, which serves as the  fundamental document of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
