"Many Armenian citizens want to travel back to Russia and have held number of protests with the same demand," Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Vahe Enfiajyan said at the parliament session on Thursday.
"According to the latest data, some 4,300 citizens have applied and expressed a desire to travel to Russia. Most of them have family members there, others have left businesses. They are unable to live here being unemployed and are in grave situation," Enfiajyan said, asking the government to elaborate on what are the actions of the authorities to address the citizens' concerns.
In response, the Chairman of the State Revenue Committee reiterated the government approach on the matter.
