Armenian parliamentary committee to discuss ratification of Rome Statute on September 28

 12:18,

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 26, ARMENPRESS. An Armenian parliamentary committee will discuss the ratification of the Rome Statute of the ICC on September 28.

The Armenian government on September 1 sent the Rome Statute to parliament for ratification.

In 2022, the Pashinyan Administration explained that it seeks to join the Rome Statute because it would allow to hold the government of Azerbaijan to account for its aggressions against Armenia.

The bill will be discussed at the Parliamentary Committee on State-Legal Affairs.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
