UNITED LABOR PARTY IS FOR ADOPTION OF DOUBLE CITIZENSHIP
YEREVAN, MAY 20, NOYAN TAPAN. "We are a party bearing liberal ideas
and we consider that the obstacles to adoption of double citizenship
created in Armenia need to be liquidated," Grigor Ghonjeyan, member
of RA NA United Labor Party faction, declared during the May 20
discussion on the subject of double citizenship organized by the Club
of Political Discussions. According to Ghonjeyan, in issues of double
citizenship the international state and legal practice has various
manifestations that weren't finally regulated. As a rule, states treat
double citizenship negatively. Very often inter-state agreements not
encourage but exclude double citizenship at the same time demanding
that persons having double citizenship should choose one and refuse of
the other. That's why Armenia bears no responsibility in connection
with the institute of double citizenship. And inter-state agreements
signed by RA are also aimed at excluding double citizenship. According
to the speaker, some countries formally don't refuse double citizenship
but really they treat it with caution as double citizenship enables
people to carry out different machinations, in particular, in
connection with paying taxes, free movement and other issues. According
to the MP, issues of paying taxes, as well as serving in the army must
be fixed by the respective inter-state agreements. At the same time,
as Grigor Ghonjeyan mentioned, the United Labor Party considers that
a person having a citizenship of another country mustn't participate
in RA state elections and only the country's population should decide
the fate of the Armenian authorites. Speaking for double citizenship,
Ghonjeyan at the same time reminded that many countries refuse it
from considerations of security.
