The Kremlin expects Yerevan to provide certain assurances regarding the possible arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant, APA reports citing Interfax.
"Of course, it is very important to receive certain assurances from our Armenian partners. This issue is to be resolved within the framework of bilateral dialogue, which we intend to do," Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
Peskov's words came after Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that he was not the one to decide on the possible arrest of the Russian president, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, if he visited Armenia.
In an interview with Britain's The Daily Telegraph on February 11, Pashinyan did not answer a direct question about whether Russian President Vladimir Putin could be arrested and extradited to The Hague if he visited Armenia.
