Yerevan`s steps toward ratifying Roman Statute unfriendly - Moscow 

ArmInfo.Moscow regards Yerevan's steps toward ratifying the Roman Statute as unfriendly,  Maria Zakharova, Spokesperson for Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told a briefing. 

Zakharova recalled that the Armenian ambassador was recently summoned  to the Russian Foreign Ministry and was rebuked in connection with a  number of 'unfriendly steps' of official Yerevan. One of those steps  is the intention to ratify the Rome Statute.

"We have already said how we qualify this move. Yerevan will have to  qualify its motivation, explain and clarify what are they doing it  for and why? They, by the way, have presented their explanations, but  we consider such steps as unfriendly, which we have repeatedly said,"  Zakharova said.
