The Russian Federal Migration Service's Yerevan office has suspended
the admission of documents from the Armenian citizens, the paper says,
citing BBC News.
The Armenians seeking permanent residence and employment opportunities
in Russia in the frameworks of the Compatriots program have been
reportedly asked to wait until January 10.
Earlier, dozens of Armenian citizens would queue up outside the
office to register for the program to pave their way out of Armenia,
the paper says further, citing the report.
"Although the Armenian authorities are said to be against the program,
with Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan considering the office's operation
of unacceptable (as it contributes to emigration), the Russian
authorities continued it. The program, launched in 2006, expires in
2012, but Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a special decree
on September 15 to prolong the timeframes of its implementation. So
the decision to suspend the admission of the documents is thought to
have its reasons and is of a temporary natures. Hence, it may hardly
have anything to do with the Armenian authorities' complaints,"
the paper comments.
