Artsakh

Passports with code 070 granted Artsakh residents the same rights of Armenian citizens until 2023

ArmInfo. Until 2023, passports with code 070 granted Artsakh residents the same rights as Armenian citizens, except for the right to participate in elections. Artsakh Ombudsman Gegham Stepanyan made this statement at the hearings at the National Assembly of Armenia on November 29. He pointed out that in addition to the possibility of obtaining temporary protection status, Artsakh residents were also being offered expedited registration for Armenian citizenship. However, statistics show that forcibly displaced Artsakh residents are hesitant to apply for citizenship due to various reasons, both objective and subjective. Gegham Stepanyan explained that the concerns of the Artsakh people regarding obtaining Armenian citizenship are related, among other things, to the exercise of their right to return. "During conversations with the Artsakh people, it is evident that the loss of the opportunity to return raises significant concerns, and, unfortunately, this issue has not been adequately addressed," the Ombudsman explained.
