NEGLIGENCE?
Support A1+!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 Hatspanian had an RA temporary residency status, which Robert Kocharyan had considered no longer valid on March 10.
“He went to France, came back to Armenia, but without a visa and the residency status had already been considered no longer valid.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.
