The President of Armenia approved the ratification of the Rome Statute, which provides for the arrest of Putin
Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturian signed a law ratifying the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. He accepted a statement that Armenia recognizes the powers of the ICC.
Ratification of the Rome Statute of the ICC, which was previously approved by more than 100 states of the world, involves the arrest of Russian President Putin in the event of his visit to Armenia. Earlier, Kremlin spokesman Peskov called it an “unfriendly step” aimed at arresting Russian citizen Putin, accused by the ICC of war crimes.
The day before, the Russian President said that he was ready to visit Armenia when possible. He clarified that he is in contact and in touch with the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan. “A normal situation will develop, and I will go to them, or he will come. We have an appropriate work schedule,” Putin said at a press conference.
