RA FM: dual citizenship supposes equal rights for all
Armenians with dual citizenship should have the vote equally with RA citizens, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian told a news conference today. Dual citizenship will not create a new category, which renders more rights to some people and less to the others, according to him. "Dual citizenship supposes equal rights and responsibilities for all citizens of the republic. In my opinion, all Armenian citizens should be granted suffrage," the Minister said.

Today the Armenian parliament with 66 votes 'for' and 5 'against' passed the bill on dual citizenship in its second reading.
