Why the Ratification of the Rome Statute in Tajikistan Goes Unnoticed: Arthur Danielyan

Arthur Danielyan, the founder of the Adequat Union, wrote on his Facebook page: “Do you not have questions about why the Rome Statute, which has not yet been ratified by Armenia, caused such an uproar in Moscow, while Tajikistan’s ratification passed quietly? The local agents have also started to actively link this to Putin, although the process began much earlier than the decision to arrest Putin.”

The issue at hand is that Aliyev is the one facing a real threat, not Putin. Among the threats to the Kremlin, the decision of the Armenian Constitutional Court doesn't even make it into the top 100. Meanwhile, losing Aliyev as an ally ranks among the top 5 threats. Losing Erdogan is even in the top 3. It’s understandable for Aliyev: it’s unjust for him to be tried in The Hague for crimes he committed under Moscow's prompting. This is already being openly discussed in their media,” he added.

It should be noted that Tajikistan, a founding member of the CSTO and an ally of Russia, is included in the list of countries that have ratified the Rome Statute.
