Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said in an interview with Armenian television that his wife’s visit to Ukraine with charitable support, Yerevan’s ratification of the Rome Statute with the issuance of an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin and the American-Armenian military exercises are not related to the Russian Federation, “although they are a reason for anxiety." The politician once again expressed dissatisfaction with the CSTO due to the fact that the organization “does not fulfill its obligations.”

“Armenia’s possible ratification of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court is not directed against the Russian Federation, but is related to the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border,” noted the Armenian prime minister. He also believes that his wife's visit to Ukraine is being inappropriately politicized. Pashinyan said that his wife Anna Hakobyan has been involved in the activities of the Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen for a long time and participates in events within the framework of this partnership.
