ARMENIAN PARLIAMENT ENDORSES BILL ON DUAL CITIZENSHIP

:

On Monday 26th February 2007,  the Parliament of the Republic of Armenia endorsed in the second reading a draft legislation bill allowing citizens of foreign states of Armenian descent to obtain also Armenian citizenship. The bill was supported by 66 votes, with 5 votes against and one abstention.

The legislation, consisting of a package of bills on making changes to a set of laws, regulates practical modalities of dual citizenship, which was introduced in Armenia in November 2005 as part of a Constitutional reform. Justice Minister David Haroutiunian, who presented the bill, said the bill provides people with dual citizenship the right of taking part in Armenian elections in case they are registered in Armenia as residents. This in turn requires being registered also at military commissariats.

The bill also says that citizenship of Armenia may be claimed by people of Armenian descent aged 18 and higher and who have a three-year permanent residential record in the country, who are able to speak Armenian and who are familiar with its Constitution. Besides, the citizenship may be granted to couples in case one of the spouses or their child is a citizen of Armenia.

The bill refuses Armenian citizenship to people whose activity may damage the country's national interests. People with dual citizenship can participate in elections but will not be allowed to run for Armenian presidency and seek a seat in the National Assembly. People with dual citizenship may serve in the Armenian army, but they are exempted from it if they have served 12 months in the regular armed forces in the country of their primary citizenship or 18 months as alternative military service.

It also says citizens of Armenia who have received a second citizenship are not exempted from mandatory service in the Armenian armed forces. The legislation was opposed by five lawmakers from the pro-government United Labor Party because it stipulates that members of Armenia's Government can be dual citizens. Party chairman Gurgen Arsenian argues that this means a partial loss of Armenia's sovereignty.
