YEREVAN. – The ban on entry into the Russian Federation (RF) has been lifted for 250 Armenian citizens from the 30,000 Armenian nationals, whose entry into the country is prohibited due to a stricter enforcement of the RF immigration laws.

Armenian State Migration Agency Head Gagik Yeganyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am that about 2,500 from these 30,000 people had petitioned to them, and respective letters were sent to the RF Federal Migration Service concerning them. They had received responses for 1,200 persons, and the entry ban was lifted for 250 of these Armenian citizens.       

Yeganyan also informed that he spoke with his Russian colleague on this matter, and they discussed the need for increasing the number of approvals to respective petitions.

In response to the query on whether Armenia’s forthcoming Eurasian Economic Union (EaEU) accession will positively contribute to this issue, the head of the Armenian State Migration Agency said that this has nothing to do with the EaEU. 

“The EaEU will relate to labor migration; the same laws and the same penalties will continue to function in Russia,” Gagik Yeganyan stated.
