Vartan Oskanian Says Law on Dual Citizenship Important

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia and Diaspora make a single whole, RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian stated at the closing session of the third Armenia-Diaspora Forum. "Armenia and Diaspora have common past and the existing division was imposed on us since the decline of Ani and Cilicia, the Armenian Genocide, injustice of the Soviet period, hardships of the initial years of independence and war with Azerbaijan. Now we should take the measures essential for the return of Armenians to the homeland," the RA FM said.



In Oskanian's opinion, it's very important to adopt the law on dual citizenship. "This is essential for the people and future of Armenia. Armenians should number not 3 but 5 or 10 million. It's necessary for counteracting challenges," the Minister said, reported newsarmenia.ru.
