Armenian lawmakers approved a key step towards joining the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Tuesday, a move that is set to escalate tensions with the ex-Soviet country's traditional ally Moscow.
Russia said it was "wrong" to ratify the treaty to join the international court, which in March issued an arrest warrant for President Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine and the illegal deportation of children to Russia.
ICC members are expected to make the arrest if the Russian leader sets foot on their territory.
Lawmakers voted to ratify the Rome Statute by a vote of 60-22.
