PanARMENIAN.Net - Today the Armenian National Assembly passed the bill on dual citizenship in the second reading. The bill allows an Armenian citizen to acquire citizenship of another state without losing the Armenia one. The bill also regulates the norms of obtaining Armenian citizenship. In part, Armenian citizenship may be granted to people over the age of 18, capable to speak Armenian and familiarized with the RA Constitution; people married to an Armenian citizen; people of Armenian origin remarkable for great services to Armenia. People with dual citizenship are eligible to vote in elections held in Armenia. The President of the state, MPs and Constitutional Court members cannot have dual citizenship, the document says.
