The Armenian Parliament approved a dual citizenship law in the third
and final reading on Monday, an Interfax correspondent reported.

Under the law, Armenian citizens can hold the citizenship of another
country and foreigners can hold Armenian citizenship.

The law also simplifies the process for awarding Armenian citizenship
to persons of Armenian descent or to foreign nationals who have made
a special contribution to the country.
