YEREVAN, OCTOBER 6. ARMINFO. Though the draft reforms excepts the
ban on dual citizenship from the Constitution, it is per se nonsense,
leader of the parliamentary Republican party faction Galust Sahakyan
expressed such an opinion during a press-conference at the National
press-club.
In his words, the ban was excepted by the draft authors with the aim
to involve more intensive the Armenian Diaspora into the processes
taken place in Armenia. "This matter has been regulated by special
agreements between the two countries, and I cannot imagine someone
who lives abroad but pays taxes in Armenia and serves in the Armenian
army. It is nonsense", Sahakyan stated. At the same time, he noted
that the law on dual citizenship certainly "will secure" the country
against undesirable precedents.
