/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 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.
