The Armenian Parliament ratified the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The official reason is that the country is going to prosecute those who committed war crimes during the Azerbaijani-Armenian military conflict.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov called Armenia’s decision to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court “extremely hostile” towards Russia. It assumes the arrest of Russian President Putin in the event of a visit to Armenia.

Baku and Yerevan are close to signing a peace treaty. This was stated by the Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Alen Simonyan. “We are very close and have a historic opportunity to sign a peace treaty. An eternal war is not beneficial to anyone,” he noted.

Armenia began the process of ratifying the Rome Statute in December last year, when it became obvious to everyone that the CSTO and the mechanisms of Armenian-Russian strategic cooperation were not sufficient to ensure its external security.

The chief of staff of the Prime Minister of Armenia, Arayik Harutyunyan, accused Russian state propaganda of unleashing a “hybrid war” against his country.

The President of Georgia is an ordinary oppositionist and representative of the “war party.” This was stated by the executive secretary of the ruling Georgian Dream party, Mamuka Mdinaradze.

Azerbaijan admitted guilt in the death of five Russian peacekeepers in Karabakh on September 20. President Ilham Aliyev, in a telephone conversation with Putin, expressed “deep condolences” and promised to punish those responsible based on the results of the investigation.

Negotiations have started in the Azerbaijani Yevlakh on the terms of the transition of Nagorno-Karabakh to the full control of Azerbaijan.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met with his associates at the height of protests near the government of the country, writes the Hraparak publication. He made it clear to his team that he would not resign and would retain power at any cost.

On September 20, while returning from an observation post of the Russian peacekeeping contingent in the area of ​​the village of Dzhanyatag, a car containing Russian military personnel came under small arms fire.
