    YERKIR: ARMENIA'S FOREIGN MINISTER HOLDS DUAL CITIZENSHIP

    Tert.am
    17.12.10

    When Edward Nalbandyan was appointed Armenia's foreign minister in
    2008, he was a Russian citizen, the paper claims.

    So, he was a foreign national when serving as Armenia's ambassador to
    Egypt for years and then as ambassador to France, the paper comments,
    and was granted Armenian citizenship only after becoming foreign
    minister. But even then he did not renounce his Russian citizenship,
    and holds a dual citizenship, the paper says.

    Two other former Armenian foreign ministers, Raffi Hovhannisyan and
    Vardan Oskanyan, had been US citizens, but both have since renounced
    their US citizenship.
