Migration Service announced that it stopped to accept the applications
of the Armenian citizens for permanent residence in Russia.
APA reports quoting Armenian media that the Russian Migration Service
carried out program “Resettlement of Compatriots” in Armenia. The
citizens of Armenia were granted immigrant status and the ability to

the CIS countries in less populated areas of Russia. Armenian Prime
Minister Tigran Sargsyan considered the program as “unacceptable”.
