INTRODUCTION OF DUAL CITIZENSHIP IN ARMENIA TO BECOME THREAT FOR ITS
NATIONAL SECURITY, ULB MEMBERS THINK
YEREVAN, JUNE 25. ARMINFO. If in the draft constitutional reforms of
Armenia the provision on permission of dual citizenship is not
withdrawn or it does not provide for that the persons, who possess the
status of dual citizen does not have the right to elect or to be
elected, then the United Labour Party will call on the society of the
country to vote against this document. ULP leader Gurgen Arsenian
stated during the news conference at the discussion club Azdak,
Saturday.
At the same time Arsenian said he does not care Armenia will be
expelled from the Council of Europe for that or not. "I will not allow
Armenia to become a field for experiments for internal and external
forces", the ULP leader said. He stressed that the introduction of the
dual citizenship in Armenia may become a threat of national security
of the republic. "Nobody can guarantee that the same situation as in
Abkhazia, where the 80% of the population are at the same time
citizens of Georgia and Russia, will be created in Armenia after the
introduction of the dual citizenship in the republic", Arsenian
said. According to him, the introduction of the dual citizenship in
Armenia will result in direct interference of foreign states in the
internal affairs of the republic. "The foreign super-powers will
motivate their interference in the internal process of Armenia by that
they defend the interests of their citizens, who at the same time are
citizens of Armenia", Gurgen Arsenian said.
Arsenian blamed the ruling coalition for that it unwillingly agreed
with the remarks of the Venice Commission, and, at least adopted them
only under the pressure of the united Europe. Arsenian mentioned,
criticizing the ruling coalition he realized that the presidents is
its fourth side. At the same time the leader of the United Labour
Party declared of the draft constitutional amendments are adopted at
the referendum, then their party will obey the will of the people.
However, the ULP will continue explanation work among the society of
the country in order to prove that the revised Constitution does not
meet the interests of the Armenian people.
Arsenian welcomed the decision of the opposition to stop the boycott
and take part in the revision of the draft constitutional amendments,
as the opposition reached a deadlock, from where it can hardly go
out. According to him, inactivity of the opposition depraves the
power. He said in the period of the absence of the opposition at the
parliament the ULP had to fulfill its mission and the mission of
radical opposition. Arsenian said that during the two years of the
boycott the opposition showed the public that it is possible not to go
to work but receive salary.
