Tert.am

As part of their efforts to back the ex-commander of Shushi battalion,
Zhirayr Sefilyan's bid for Armenian citizenship, the activists of
the Armenian youth union Hayazn are organizing a meeting with him
on Friday.
The activists will discuss all their steps implemented so far. They
will also hold a question and answer session with Sefilyan. The
participants will invest their best efforts to encourage the hero
of Karabakh (Artsakh) war to address the Armenian authorities once
again in an attempt of being granted the citizenship of his homeland.
A petition launched ahead of Sefilyan's 44th birth anniversary
attracted 13,000 signatures earlier this year. The union subsequently
held a procession to the presidential office to submit the signatures
with an enclosed letter to President Serzh Sargsyan. In its response to
the activists however, the presidential administration said citizenship
procedures require applying to the Passport and Visa Department of
the Police.
