parliament to its immigration law ban the entry of some Armenian
citizens to that country.

permanent residence permits and over 10,000 acquired the citizenship

Economic Union (EEU) entering into force on January 1, 2015,

contracts. According to her, the rights of citizens of Armenia are
equaled to the rights of Russian citizens.
