Armenia voted for the UN General Assembly resolution accusing Russia

Armenia voted for the resolution of the UN General Assembly, which says "about the Russian aggression against Ukraine and Georgia" and mentions the work on the "creation of a special tribunal for the crime of aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine."

The document is entitled "Cooperation between the United Nations and regional and other organizations: cooperation between the United Nations and The "Council of Europe" was adopted by 105 votes in favor, 9 countries voted against, including the United States, and 33 abstained, Sputnik Armenia reports.

Azerbaijan and Israel did not participate in the voting.

In a statement by the US Permanent Representative to the UN, Jonathan Schreier, following the meeting of the General Assembly, it is said that the United States appreciates the work of the Council of Europe "to protect and uphold human rights, develop democracy and promote the rule of law," but this resolution repeats statements regarding the "Russian-Ukrainian war," which the United States considers "useless for promoting peace" between two countries. At the same time, the US hopes that The Council of Europe and all UN member States will support and strengthen efforts to achieve a comprehensive and lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine.
