188 RECEIVED DUAL CITIZENSHIP
By the decree of the president of Armenia Serzh
Sargsyan, 188 citizens in Armenia received dual
citizenship, after the correspondent laws have been
revised and changes made. According to Alvina
Zakaryan, the head of passport and visa department of
the police station of the RA dual citizenship does not
mean to have citizenship in two countries. `Dual
citizenship means to have several citizenship right in
several countries, but the citizen of the Republic of
Armenia is recognized as a citizen of the RA only,’
she said.
She said that there were registered some cases when a
citizen acquired citizenship in another country
without renouncing the citizenship of the RA. She said
that unless the president of the RA signed the
renouncement of their citizenship, they remain as full
citizens of Armenia. `Nobody was renounced his/her
citizenship,’ she said.
