Putin can theoretically be arrested in Armenia on the order of the International Court of Justice

The Constitutional Court of Armenia recognized the relevant obligations enshrined in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. Thus, theoretically, Armenia has the right to arrest Russian President Putin on a warrant issued by the ICC.

Ratification of the Rome Statute, on which the ICC is based, itself began in Yerevan a few months ago. It is not necessary to link this process with the warrant and charges. However, the resulting conflict may close another country for Putin, and formally allied.
