YEREVAN. – We need to attempt to ensure a preferential procedure for the Armenian citizens’ stay in the Russian Federation (RF).  

Armenian National Security Council Secretary Arthur Baghdasaryan stated the aforementioned at a press conference on Saturday.

He commented on the latest amendments that were made in the RF law on entry to and exit from Russia.

Pursuant to the amendments, foreign nationals may stay in Russia without registration, or a work contract, for solely 90 days. Subsequently, they may travel back to Russia only after 90 days.       

No exceptions were made for Armenia, as Russia’s future partner in the Customs Union, and work has to be carried out in this direction, Baghdasaryan added.

“I will send a letter next week to the RF Security Council secretary awaiting his position on the matter.

“Given the allied nature of our relations [with Russia] and [Armenia’s] Eurasian Union accession as of January 2015, we must try to provide a more preferential treatment for our citizens. We must do everything on our part, since the number of deportations can really grow,” Arthur Baghdasaryan noted.
