    Russian migration law and its consequences on Armenians (video)

    12:14 | January 31,2015 | Politics


    Citizens of the Republic of Armenia have to take a five-stage exam to
    obtain Russian citizenship. The exam includes four written and one
    oral test.

    "On the whole, the exam is not difficult. One's basic knowledge of the
    language, even the knowledge one acquired at school, is enough to pass
    the exam," says Zhanna Harutyunyan, who intends to leave for Russia
    with her family.

    The family is going to Russia in the hope of finding better conditions there.
    "Both my husband and I shall work there and we shall be able to do
    something for our children. Living conditions are worsening day by day
    in Armenia, forcing us to seek employment opportunities outside the
    country," says Zhanna Harutyunyan, who is a teacher.

    Artak Kolyan, who is a construction engineer by profession, says he
    worked in Sochi before coming to Armenia and thinks that it is easier
    to work and keep a family outside Armenia.
    Russian Migration Legislation underwent changes earlier this year. The
    law envisages a facilitated procedure of obtaining Russian citizenship
    by Russian-speaking residents from EEU member states. Anyway,
    demographer Ruben Yeganyan says there are still numerous unclear
    issues that need to be specified.

    "In fact, I do not have any expectation that the situation of migrants
    will improve substantially in Russia. Still, there are problems
    connected with registration, work permit or licence," he said.

    About 50.000 Armenians have been forbidden to enter the Russian
    Federation for 3 -5 years, another 150000 Armenians have been
    'blacklisted.'
    Who is to protect the rights of these citizens?

    "We cannot appeal the refusal of the Russian Federal Migration Service
    in our courts," says lawyer Tamara Yayloyan.

    Details are available in the video.
