Politics

Dual citizenship must serve the return of Armenians to Armenia, says leader of National Democratic Party Shavarsh Kocharyan. “We thought it necessary to stipulate several fundamental issues in the draft Constitution, but unfortunately we didn't do it. If an Armenian comes to Armenia to live here permanently, there is no problem in participating in the elections”, he said adding that before the adoption of the Constitution, he introduced several offers which where not taken into account.

According to the leader of the NDP, if the dual\l citizen lives in Armenia temporarily, he does not have suffrage. «Or he must be deprived of one citizenship», he thinks.

As for the army service of the dual citizens, according to him, they must serve in the army of the country where he lives permanently. «If he lives in Armenia, he must serve in the Armenian army».

As for the upcoming parliamentary election, Shavarsh Kocharyan has decided to participate in them by the majority system.
