Children of Armenians from other countries will be able to obtain
Armenian citizenship in a simplified manner

Yerevan October 27

Alexander Avanesov. Children of Armenians, who are citizens of other
countries, will be able to obtain Armenian citizenship in a simplified
manner. Corresponding amendments to the Law "On Citizenship" were made
at the meeting of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia on
October 27.

In addition, as the Deputy Chief of Police of Armenia Vardan
Yeghiazaryan stated, in order to reduce the number of fictitious
marriages for the purpose of acquiring citizenship, the law requires a
minimum of two years to live with a citizen of Armenia in a registered
marriage, provided that they live in Armenia for one year. Issues
related to the granting of citizenship will be handled by an
interdepartmental commission that will submit proposals to the Prime
Minister, and the latter will have the right to apply to the president
for granting citizenship.
