Armenia's Defiance: Joining Hague Court Strains Ties with Russia

Armenia has signed up to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, a move that could further strain its already fraught relations with Moscow. The signing comes as Armenia faces pressure from Russia over its political and military ties with the West, particularly its partnership with NATO. The move to join the ICC could be seen as a signal of Armenia's desire to assert its independence and pursue its own foreign policy agenda.
