Citizens of NKR are deprived of their own state passports.
For instance, Shushan Stepanyan born and grown in Hadrut, when given
the passport she found out that she was a citizen of RA rather than
NKR. 'When I was going to Yerevan State University, it really caused
some problems. It was easier for the students from Diaspora to enter
the university, but the admission committee did not believe me to
be an NKR citisen.They could believe me only looking at the side to
state the birthplace,' she said.
Karlen Avetisyan, NKR Permanent Representative in RA elucidated the
fact,' As far as NKR is not officially recognized, people are given
RA passports to keep connections with outer world.'
Are the NKR citizens likely to participate in the forthcoming elections
being deprived of the right? We should mention that the passports are
not a bit different from those of RA citizens.' I have no fear about
it. According to law, they do not have the right either to elect or
be elected due to the law. The election lists are formed according
to the election sites,' Karlen Avetisyan commented on the issue.
