Adult Entertainment Laws in Armenia
Legal Overview
In Armenia engaging in prostitution is an administrative offence punished by a fine of twenty times the minimum salary unit used for fines, forty times for a repeat within a year; trafficking and exploitation victims are released from liability for offences committed under coercion. Buying sex from an adult is not an offence. The Criminal Code of 2021 defines prostitution as regularly, or with that intent, performing sexual acts with another person for remuneration or its promise. Pimping (Article 298) carries a fine, community work, restriction of liberty or two to five years; facilitating prostitution by creating, managing or keeping an establishment for it, or providing a flat, building, car or other dwelling (Article 299), carries a fine, community work or up to three years.

In Practice
No law specifically bans advertising sexual services. The Law on Advertising requires adverts to be lawful and bans adverts that discredit general and national moral norms, without mentioning prostitution; the Code of Administrative Offences has no prostitution advertising offence. Facilitating prostitution (Article 299) is a closed list of premises and vehicles, so a publisher of adverts would be liable only under Article 298 if it induced or involved someone. Directories may not list escort services here: a site that carries other people's ads can be prosecuted or fined.
