By the decree of the president of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, 188 citizens in Armenia received dual citizenship, after the correspondent laws have been revised and changes made. According to Alvina Zakaryan, the head of passport and visa department of the police station of the RA dual citizenship does not mean to have citizenship in two countries. “Dual citizenship means to have several citizenship right in several countries, but the citizen of the Republic of Armenia is recognized as a citizen of the RA only,” she said.

She said that there were registered some cases when a citizen acquired citizenship in another country without renouncing the citizenship of the RA. She said that unless the president of the RA signed the renouncement of their citizenship, they remain as full citizens of Armenia. “Nobody was renounced his/her citizenship,” she said.
