Russia on September 8 summoned the Armenian ambassador to protest what it termed "unfriendly steps" taken by Yerevan in another sign of strain between Moscow and the former Soviet republic. The Russian Foreign Ministry said a “harsh representation" had been made to the ambassador over Yerevan's decisions to sign up with the International Criminal Court, host a military exercise with the United States, and send the Armenian prime minister's wife to Ukraine to deliver humanitarian aid. Armenia previously complained that Russian peacekeepers have failed to end a blockade of supplies to ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
