ArmInfo. "Sasna Tsrer" Party expresses its dissatisfaction with the fact that the process of getting Armenian citizenship by a member of the party, the hero of the Artsakh war Zhirayr Safilyan, is delayed.
The statement of the party, in particular, recalled that Sefilyan applied for citizenship on August 2, 2018. After 2 months, Zhirayr Sefilyan received a response from the government that his application was given a course in the prescribed manner.
At the same time, on October 7 representatives of the intellectuals appealed to the Prime Minister with a request to grant Sefilyan Armenian citizenship retroactively, as he had previously applied 3 times to obtain citizenship, however, his applications were illegally rejected.
However, this time the government reported that this issue could be resolved in court. Meanwhile, the party emphasizes that the law does not prohibit the previously submitted applications for citizenship to be considered respectful and provides an opportunity for its backdating.
