RUSSIA WILL NOT APPLY RESTRICTIONS ON ARMENIAN LABOR MIGRANTS IN ITS TERRITORY WHO HAVE VIOLATED ITS IMMIGRATION LAW
YEREVAN, April 25. / ARKA /. Russia will not apply restrictions
on Armenian labor migrants in its territory for violation of its
immigration law until Armenia's accession to the Customs Union, the
outgoing secretary of the National Security Council Arthur Baghdasaryan
said today.
According to Baghdasaryan, during his recent visit to Moscow Armenian
and Russian migration services signed a document that will govern
all the issues relating to Armenian labor migrants in the Russian
Federation.
Particularly, no artificial obstacles will be created for Armenian
citizens entering the Russian Federation.
He added that a membership in the Customs Union provides for citizens
of member countries a completely different migration regime.
According to him, around 60,000 Armenian citizens have been denied
entry to the Russian Federation, and another 210,000 are in the "risk
zone" having violated the law and will have problems when leaving
Russia. Approximately another 500,000 may be banned from the entry
into Russia in case of a third breach of its immigration legislation.
Under the revised Russian immigration law, citizens of some former
Soviet republics, including from Armenia, have the right to remain in
the territory of the Russian Federation without registration for only
90 days within every 180 days. This means that citizens of Armenia
cannot continually live in Russia for at least six months. -0-
