The Armenian Parliament ratified the rome statute of the International Criminal court. They voted for it. Now the document must be signed by the president of the country and it will come into force in 60 days. Our special correspondent, natalya solovyova, is observing the events in yerevan. The controversy in the Armenian Parliament regarding the ratification of the rome statute is completely in vain, position immediately after a minute of silence in memory of the victims. Nagornokarabakh and voting on the agenda, she left the hall and returned only before the voting itself, that 60 for, 22, սա մենք նաեւ փոխանցել ենք մեր we conveyed this to our russian colleagues, that says it all, the reviews we are talking about are naturally familiar to us , nothing will change from this, armenia is a sovereign state, we must be guided by the benefits of the republic of armenia. Opposition factions of armenia and i have the honor to boycott the discussion issue, they believe that the adoption of this document has nothing to do with the interests of the state, but pursues geopolitical goals. At this stage, ratify. With friendly countries about the extraction of potential criminals. In addition, i personally do not know of a single case when the rome statute was in force, when, under this statute, someone was put on trial, before the International Criminal court. This is a purely politically motivated decision. This is a signal from russia, which also means a signal from the west, that is, a signal from negative russia, positive from the west, although the United States itself has not ratified this status. The party in power claims that the ratification of the rome statute is aimed against war crimes of azerbaijan, which they could commit on the territory of armenia, and the adoption of the document gives grounds to raise their issue in the International Criminal court it is precisely crimes against humanity that are considered, and armenias Foreign Policy agenda remains fight against these crimes. What really caused heated debate in the Armenian Parliament today is this is primarily the issue of nagornokarabakh. Deputies from the Opposition Party in power found out who was most to blame. Who are you calling a nation killer . Better look at yourself, you think we dont remember how happy you were. He tried many times to escape, to throw off the burden of power, and in the end he threw it off himself. Do you even know how minority artsakh resisted the enemy, do you know the state of the captured armenian general now . In november 2020, armenia signed not a surrender, but a document on the cessation wars with those who are bad for armenia. Terms, you signed this capitulation, you yourself were the capitulators, and you yourself surrendered the country. The surrender of artsakh occurred at the moment when pashinyan announced in prague that he recognizes artsakh as part of azerbaijan, which no one has done so far. In addition, in a situation where more than 100,000 people are in a state of humanitarian catastrophe , a threat looms over armenia, the only thing that interests the party in power is to find and appoint those responsible for what mitrossiya previously stated that this would be but as for the ratification of the rome statute, it will have the most negative consequences for bilateral relations. In any case, the job is done, and after 60 days, this document will come into force. Natalya solovyova, ilya novikov and maya alenova, vesti armenia. Armenias decision to ratify the rome statute was commented on by the president ial press secretary, dmitry peskov. Armenia is our ally, it is a friendly state, our partner, and of course, we have much in common with the fraternal armenian people. To the current leadership of armenia, of course, we will have additional issues, from the point of view of bilateral relations, armenias accession to the rome statute of the International Criminal court, we still believe that this is an incorrect decision, we absolutely disagree with the words of the Prime Minister of armenia pashinyan that the decision of armenia to join the rome statute was is associated with the insufficiency of the tools of the udcs and the armenianrussian partnership to ensure the countrys security. As for other condemnations regarding karabakh, we must always remember the decision mr. Pashiyan, which he received in prague and recognized the borders of azerbaijan in the ninetyfirst year, accordingly, he recognized the territory of karabakh as the territory of azerbaijan. In sochi, at a meeting of the Valdai InternationalDiscussion Club today, the prospects for Energy Markets are being discussed against the backdrop of growing tensions in the world. Another topic of the day is what problems remain to be solved for the development of the russian economy. Our special correspondent Anastasia Efimova is observing the discussion. Shes in direct contact. Hello again anastasi, how is this day going for the meeting participants . Yes, alexander, hello, indeed here, at the Valdai InternationalDiscussion Club in sochi, today they are talking about economics, and in a variety of refractions, the morning session, they talked about the state of the World Economy, about how to move from dictatorship, including including Currency Exchange rates, then already in the afternoon session it was really about Energy Markets. Also today , the deputy Prime Minister met with club experts russias alexander novak, who, of course, also spoke about the energy sector, answered questions from journalists, including about the socalled Oil Price Ceiling. Let me remind you that the other day an International Publication , an authoritative agent. The Oil Price Ceiling apparently does not work and isnt it time to cancel it . However, russias position on this issue, as it was, remains unchanged, initially, when the ceiling prices were raised, we talked about how this is not a working tool, that this is a tool that only makes things worse for consumers, for the Global Energy market, you know, a special decree of the president of the Russian Federation was issued on noncompliance with price ceilings in supply contracts; our Companies Use and work within the framework of the decree. We are strictly monitoring this. Today we see that prices for the brand have increased, and the discount itself has decreased. And our products are sold at market prices, above the ceiling, and as we have already said, they create a precedent so that in the future they can be used not only against Russian Energy resources, but also against other countries, of course, journalists could not help but ask about fuel prices within the country; i remind you that last week this issue was discussed by the head of state at a meeting with members of the government. The main question of journalists, our key task is to ensure that prices at gas stations rise during the year at a level no higher than inflation, this was observed in previous years, this year the same task is also set for the future and next year, we have seen an increase this year significant not on zs, on the Stock Exchange. And the decisions that were made to ban the export of Russian Petroleum products, primarily diesel fuel, which was exported there, have already led to the fact that prices on the Stock Exchange dropped significantly to 20 for diesel fuel, and now it is important that these prices are transferred to small wholesale link for those producers who buy them not on the Stock Exchange, at oil depots, today we are also strictly monitoring these. We are already seeing that in most of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation there has been a reduction in prices at small wholesale stores, and this the reduction has already ranged from 3,000 there to 10,000 according to various factors per ton for diesel fuel, this is very important for our agricultural producers. We lost contact with sochi, but i think well definitely be connected a little later, anastasia , thank you, nevertheless, our special correspondent in sochi, Anastasia Efimova, spoke about the situation in sochi, where a meeting of the valdai session club is taking place.

Included in the list for privatization in the next three years, however, what exactly these companies are, the minister did not specify. As for the main macroeconomic indicators , the bank of russia stated that next year it will most likely have to adhere to a tight Monetary Policy, and this is necessary in order to return inflation to the target value of 4 . For return inflation to the 4 target, it will likely be necessary to maintain tight Monetary Policy over the next year, our baseline forecast assumes a key rate range next year of 11. 5 to 12. 5 on average, but as inflation falls, further the key rate will return to its neutral range of 5. 5 6. 5 by 26, the World Economy will grow in subsequent years, which means that the demand for russian goods will increase in the draft federal budget, designed precisely to our the country has moved to a supplyside economy, colleagues, thank you, alena, my colleague, alena logvinova, works in the federation council.
