DEBATE ON DUAL CITIZENSHIP FOR ARMENIAN DIASPORA ADDRESSED IN SPECIAL DOUBLE ISSUE OF DIASPORA: A JOURNAL OF TRANSNATIONAL STUDIES
In the midst of the current Armenian presidential election and ongoing debate concerning the form in which dual-citizenship would be extended to Armenians, Assistant Professor of Political Science Anna Ohanyan's extensive analysis of citizenship in Armenia and assessment of the current proposals offers critical perspective to anyone interested in the future wellbeing of the young republic. Ohanyan highlights the possible effects of different dual citizenship laws on the socio-economic and political development of the country and argues the need for such legislation to further diversify the economic players and make more efficient use of the financial and political resources of the Armenian diaspora.
"The Promise and the Perils of Duel Citizenship: The Case of Post-Communist Armenia," provides through an International Relations and Comparative Politics perspective, a comparative analysis of citizenship and the relationship between the state and society in the Republic of Armenia, within the context of the drastic retrenchment of the Armenian welfare state and the increased transnational mobility of labour, capital and production.
The Professor then examines the two main dual citizenship proposals, the government's and the Armenia Revolutionary Federation's, and evaluates the political, social and economic advantages and disadvantages of each before offering her own proposal, which she presents as best suited to enhance the position of Armenia in the global political economy and invigorate its level of civic engagement.
's continuous efforts to shed important light on current hot button issues such as transnational networks, extraterritoriality, digital diaspora, and dual citizenship are represented in this special double issue that contains ten fresh articles that expand the discourses of diaspora studies through analysis of Antillean, Arab, Armenian, Chinese, Israeli, Korean and Latino cases.

How naive,
If the power in Armenia wanted to open up Armenia they would have already done it.
Everyone knows that dual citizenship and the opening up of Armenia will bring it prosperity, democracy and make its dreams come true.
But, have you seen a thief who calls in the observers when they are busy stealing??? No.
Ameneian auhtorities never wanted to open up Armenia and still don't want to do so. It is not in their interest. They are busy plundering Armenia of every and last of its assets. Why should they bring in obervers and people who would and could dare send them to jail.
No. NO. Here is what Robert and Serj think of the diaspora: bunch of romantic idiots who give us money to put in our Swiss accounts. Lets take their money and keep them out.
Maybe time has come that diaspora starts attacking Armenian authorities and shows the whole World that these poeple are just a bunch of second rate thiefs who have turned our country into a banana republic run by criminals and which is a disgrace on the international scene.

Henry you are a strong nationalist.but...you thoughts are so radical.the soviet system did'nt teach our leaders any better regrdless to whom your refering to.one defernce the RK&SS ar'nt ready to sell out the genocide nor are they willing to give up karapagh. other than that indeed they will be much better off by providing an Armanian passport to diasporan armenians for $500 a head. instead of fighting for loans and money from the world bank. are they robbing the country i have some doubts. anyway diasporan's will not have to vote .
and we ar'nt a bunch of naives...
