    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ National Assembly Foreign Relations Committee on
    Friday held hearings titled "Dual Citizenship: International Law and
    Experience," attended by representatives of political parties and
    non-governmental organizations. The hearings were initiated by the
    NA's Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun faction. Foreign
    Relations Committee Chairman Armen Rustamian noted in his opening
    remarks that such discussion would be held regularly to study in detail
    the international practice and make the future law more consistent
    with the international standards.

    "The dual citizenship is a crucial issue to us and it we should discuss
    it comprehensively in order to adopt a law that would flawlessly
    contribute to organization of Armenians and strengthening of Armenia,"
    Rustamian said. Science and Education Minister Levon Mkrtchian made
    a report on the international regulation of the dual citizenship,
    noting that the discussion has been going on for over 10 years. But
    following the latest amendments to the constitution, a new situation
    has emerged, Mkrtchian noted. Constitutional Court President Gagik
    Harutiunian, in turn, reminded that only 54 out of 191 member states
    of the United Nations recognize the dual citizenship, and that in
    1950's many voiced concerns about it. Therefore, Harutiunian said, it
    is critical to adopt such law that would dismiss those concerns. Other
    politicians and experts also presented their views, reported Yerkir.
