Armenian politician Suren Surenyants has criticized the EU for “double standards” on international law after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin for war crimes, accusing him of personal responsibility for the abductions of children from Ukraine.
"Nearly 20 years ago, Tony Blair and George Bush Jr. violated international law, but the International Criminal Court in The Hague did not issue an arrest warrant for them, but now the court has issued a warrant for Vladimir Putin’s arrest,” Surenyants, the leader of the Democratic Alternative Party, wrote on Facebook on Saturday.
“The EU adopted 10 packages of sanctions against Russia for invading its neighbor’s territories, and not only is there no question of sanctions against Azerbaijan, but also Aliyev is encouraged in Western capitals as a "reliable partner".
“Double standards are killing international law, which weak and defenseless Armenia counts on,” the politician said.
