    Minister: about 15000 Armenians have received dual citizenship

    October 15, 2012 - 21:36 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Ministry of Diaspora, set up four years
    ago, is now a well-established institution, Diaspora Minister said.

    As Hranush Hakobyan told a press conference, Diaspora organizations,
    as well as state, scientific and educational institutions contributed
    to the ministry's activates.

    `The number of the programs has increased manifold. The geography of
    cooperation has expanded. The ministry's activates have contributed to
    the development of the tourism sector, with 30-35% growth recorded
    this year,' Minister Hakobyan said.

    She further noted that the number of people having received dual
    citizenship in 2011-2012 totaled 14000-15000, against the previous
    year's 1700.

    Conduction of `My Armenia' Pan-Armenian Festival and establishment of
    Diaspora's summer school have been set as the ministry's priorities
    for 2012

    Minister Hakobyan has awarded 117 diplomas, 500 letters of
    appreciation, 886 certificates and 78 medals.
