YEREVAN, JUNE 15, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. On June 15, a number
of women's NGOs sent an open letter to RA President Robert Kocharian
with a request to grant RA citizenship to Artsakh war Hero, Commander
of a separate battalion in Shoushi Zhirayr Sefilian.
"We are aware that the discussion of the second application addressed
to you by well-known Commander Zhirayr Sefilian on granting him
a citizenship of the Republic of Armenia is underway. We think
that each repatriated Diasporan Armenian has the right to become RA
citizen. Especially Zhirayr Sefilian who has been permanently living
in the homeland with his family for more than 15 years. He is the
lieutenant-colonel of the Armenian army who as the commander of a
military unit has participated in the operations from start to end,
has received high state awards. Granting RA citizenship to Zhirayr
Sefilian is an honor for all of us. We are glad and proud that such
an Armenian lives among us," the letter, in particular, read.
The authors of the document express the hope that this time Zhirayr
Sefilian's application will not be declined and he will be granted
RA citizenship.
