TOLERANT OFFER
“The UN tolerates dual citizenship, if not encourages it”, said
Grigor Ghonjeyan while representing the draft Constitution of the
United Labor Party in the NA. The dual citizenship is stipulated in
the ULP draft and that, according to the delegate, was done «due
to the profit of our own country». But those who will have dual
citizenship will not have the right to take part in elections, that
is- elect and be elected.
According to Ghonjeyan, the dual citizenship issues must be regulated
by international treaties and agreements, «The overwhelming majority
is limiting, not encouraging». The stipulating of dual citizenship
in the RA Constitution does not mean that an Armenian citizen of any
country can become citizen of Armenia. It is necessary that the given
country have accepted dual citizenship.
While representing the Constitutional chapters Grigor Ghonjeyan
mentioned that as a result of a non-professional official translation
their draft has received remarks from the Venice Committee. The
delegate claimed that they have taken into account greater part
of about 700 offers of the Venice Committee, as well as other
organizations.
