YEREVAN. - The ban on entry into the Russian Federation (RF) has been
lifted for 250 Armenian citizens from the 30,000 Armenian nationals,
whose entry into the country is prohibited due to a stricter
enforcement of the RF immigration laws.
Armenian State Migration Agency Head Gagik Yeganyan told Armenian
News-NEWS.am that about 2,500 from these 30,000 people had petitioned
to them, and respective letters were sent to the RF Federal Migration
Service concerning them. They had received responses for 1,200
persons, and the entry ban was lifted for 250 of these Armenian
citizens.
Yeganyan also informed that he spoke with his Russian colleague on
this matter, and they discussed the need for increasing the number of
approvals to respective petitions.
In response to the query on whether Armenia's forthcoming Eurasian
Economic Union (EaEU) accession will positively contribute to this
issue, the head of the Armenian State Migration Agency said that this
has nothing to do with the EaEU.
"The EaEU will relate to labor migration; the same laws and the same
penalties will continue to function in Russia," Gagik Yeganyan stated.
