The Committee in Defense of Jirayr Sefilyan’s Right to Citizenship has
stated that the RoA Police Department of Visas and Passports (OVIR)
has denied Sefilyan’s request for a one year temporary residency
status. The Department gave no reason for the denial.

The Committee also states that it was told that the Department would
no longer accept a citizenship application from Sefilyan, arguing that
he does not have temporary status. The Committee condemns the
arbitrary nature of the decision.
