The RA National Assembly passed a bill on citizenship in its second and last reading. 66 deputies voted for, 5 were against. Those having dual citizenship may have a vote in elections in Armenia only if they have residence registration in their own name. This stipulation also anticipates those citizens' registration at the enlistment office. Those being 18 and over, and having permanent residence in Armenia over the last 3 years, capable of expressing themselves in Armenian and being familiar with the country's Constitution may be granted Armenian citizenship.
