French citizen, participant of the Artsakh war Sargis Hatspanian
wants to know why nobody told him that there was a mistake in his
Armenian passport when he left for Europe on August 21 and when he
returned to Yerevan on October 7.
RA Ombudsman Armen Harutyunian told "A1+" that this was a result of
negligence on the part of the corresponding bodies. Hatspanian had an
RA temporary residency status, which Robert Kocharyan had considered
no longer valid on March 10.
"He went to France, came back to Armenia, but without a visa and the
residency status had already been considered no longer valid. So,
he entered Armenia illegally. The authorities have the right to exile
him, but there is another problem. He can't be exiled if he has two
minor children with a legal status," said Armen Harutyunian. The chief
police officer of the Kentron district community told Harutyunian
that if Hatspanian doesn't open his door, the police will appeal to
the court to let them enter.
Since Hatspanian is a citizen of France, "A1+" tried to get
information from the French Embassy of Armenia, but French Consul
in Armenia Jak Sharoti informed through one of the workers of the
embassy's press service that it would be better to ask the Armenian
authorities. According to the French Embassy worker, the Armenian
authorities have more information regarding the issue.
Let us remind that the police want to exile Sargis Hatspanian from
Armenia and that is why Hatspanian's house has been surrounded
by police officers since last night. Sargis Hatspanian, who went
underground after the events of March 1, says that the authorities
want to exile him from Armenia for his political views.
