Pashinyan on Karapetyan`s candidacy: Individuals holding citizenship  of other countries cannot be either MPs or PMs

ArmInfo.According to Armenian law and the Constitution, individuals who hold citizenship  of a second country, and in this case, a third country, are ineligible to be candidates for parliament or run for the position of prime minister in Armenia. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan  made this statement when speaking to reporters on February 13, in response  to the nomination of Samvel Karapetyan as a candidate for Prime Minister by the "Strong Armenia" party.

"This is not possible  either de jure or de facto. Therefore, there  is no reason to even comment on it," Pashinyan noted.
