Politics

Raffi Hovannisian has been applying for RA citizenship since 1991, the proclamation of Armenia's independence. Eventually Hovannisian's lasting civil aspiration was finally fulfilled through a 2001 decree of President Kocharian.

Today, the Heritage Party released the following statement,

"Armenia is at the threshold of the presidential election which will determine the progressive development of the Armenian state over the next five years. The president of Armenia is empowered to restore justice and enable fair competition in the political sphere in this decisive campaign.

The Heritage Party voices hope that the president will review and meet the “public request to grant citizenship to Raffi Hovannisian stemming from the proclamation of the Republic,” the statement runs.
