On March 20, Chairman of the Armenian Parliament Alen Simonyan said that the Constitutional Court of the Republic should establish the legitimacy of Armenia's accession to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC).

"We started the ratification process [of the Rome Statute] two or three months ago, before the adoption of the decision [on March 17, the ICC issued a warrant to arrest Putin]," Simonyan said. He added that he does not know what decision the Constitutional Court of Armenia will make and does not consider it right to make statements on this matter. "If this does not comply with the [Armenian] constitution, then I think the court will make an appropriate decision," the chairman of the legislative body said. At the same time, Simonyan found it difficult to imagine what kind of actions, based on the decision of the ICC, the countries that have already joined it can take.

Notably, the Pre-trial Chamber of the ICC, whose jurisdiction Russia does not recognize, on March 17 issued a warrant for the arrest of President Vladimir Putin and Russia's Children's Ombudsman Maria Lvova-Belova. In response, the Federation Council and the Kremlin stated that this order had no legal grounds and consequences and that after such an absurd decision, the ICC embarked on the path of self-liquidation.
