Countries that have signed and ratified the Rome Statute that created the International Criminal Court (ICC) are bound to arrest Putin, who was indicted for war crimes connected to the deportation of children from Ukraine, if he sets foot on their soil. Lawmakers voted to ratify the Rome Statute by a vote of 60-22. Armenia’s president must sign off on the decision, which will come into force 60 days after the vote.

Armenia’s relations with Russia have frayed significantly in recent years, though Armenian officials have argued the move has nothing to do with Russia and was prompted by Azerbaijan’s aggression against the country.
