DUAL CITIZENSHIP ISSUES

Yerkir.am
June 23, 2006

National Assembly is set to hold hearings titled "Dual Citizenship:
International Law and Experience," initiated by the Armenian
Revolutionary Federation’ s parliamentary faction.

Interested organizations, political parties, non-governmental
organizations and experts have been invited to participate.

For the Armenian people, who found itself in a unique situation spread
around the globe after it was subjected to genocide in its homeland
in the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the
dual citizenship is a special issue.

The Armenian Diaspora is a unique phenomenon of the history,
and Armenians have for decades preserved their ethnic culture and
awareness due to their quest to return to their independent homeland.

The uniqueness of our situation makes us create a united sphere of
national identity that would form a united responsibility for the
homeland and future of the Armenians.

Our wish is to make Armenia the homeland of all Armenians and at least
partially soothe the consequences of the history under the norms of
the international law.
