YEREVAN, November 10. /TASS/. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met with Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Karim Khan, who is facing criminal charges in Russia, Pashinyan’s press service said on Friday.

"Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met with Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court Karim Ahmad Khan. The sides discussed issues of international justice and law, as well as other topics of mutual interest," it said.

On March 17, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, the Russian presidential commissioner for children's rights, on charges of alleged involvement in war crimes, such as "illegal deportation of the population," including children, and their illegal transfer to Russia.

On March 20, Russia’s Investigative Committee opened a criminal case against ICC Prosecutor Karim Ahmad Khan and judges Rosario Salvatore Aitala, Sergio Gerardo Ugalde Godinez and Tomoko Akane for taking knowingly illegal action, as there were no grounds for bringing the Russian president and children's ombudsman to criminal responsibility.

In May, charges were brought against Karim Khan and Rosario Aitala. Both were put on the wanted list. Later, Tomoko Akane was also declared wanted. ICC First Vice President Luz del Carmen Ibanez Carranza and Judge Bertram Schmitt are also wanted on criminal charges.
