MPS ARGUING ABOUT CITIZENSHIP FOR SEFILYAN
During today's exchange of answers and questions between Government
and Parliament MP Manuk Gasparyan posed a question over not granting
citizenship to Shushi Battalion Commander Jirayr Sefilyan.
Manuk Gasparyan advised Serj Sargssyan to solicit to grant citizenship
to Karabakhi War hero. Naturally, Sargssyan didn't respond and
Government Staff Head-Minister Manuk Topuzyan answered the question.
He just informed that Government is not empowered to consider the
issue since only the President solves the problem.
"Do you suggest me to appeal to the President? In that case I
will say the guys who fought to liberate our homeland would better
perish. Sefilyan is not an ordinary man. He has come from abroad,
struggled for his country and achieved a lieutenant colonel rank. He
used to be Shushi Regiment Commander", Gasparyan said.
"Unfortunately, I don't know the reasons for refusal. But I don't think
that citizenship can be rejected baselessly", Manuk Topuzyan answered.
