There has been more reaction from the Kremlin to the news that Armenia has voted to join the International Criminal Court despite a warning from its former key ally, Russia.
The departure of another country from its influence has worried Moscow, which considered Yerevan an ally. Commenting further on the situation this afternoon, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called Armenia's decision "wrong."
" We suspected from the beginning that, from the point of view of bilateral relations, Armenia's accession to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court is incorrect ," he told reporters.
Countries under the jurisdiction of the ICC are obliged to arrest Vladimir Putin if he enters their territory because of a current warrant for his arrest. Peskov said Russia "would not want" Putin to refuse a visit to Armenia - but warned there would be "additional questions" for leaders in Yerevan. Meanwhile, Armenian officials say that the decision has nothing to do with Russia.
