/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today the Armenian National Assembly passed the bill
on dual citizenship in the second reading. The bill allows an Armenian
citizen to acquire citizenship of another state without losing the
Armenia one. The bill also regulates the norms of obtaining Armenian
citizenship. In part, Armenian citizenship may be granted to people
over the age of 18, capable to speak Armenian and familiarized with
the RA Constitution; people married to an Armenian citizen; people
of Armenian origin remarkable for great services to Armenia. People
with dual citizenship are eligible to vote in elections held in
Armenia. The President of the state, MPs and Constitutional Court
members cannot have dual citizenship, the document says.
