YEREVAN. - According to the law “On foreign citizens”, the foreigners coming to Armenia are allowed to work only under availability of working permission. However, there has been no governmental decision regarding the regulation of procedure and terms of either authorization or refusal.

The governmental agency responsible for issuing permits is not specified either. That pushes foreign citizens to work in Armenia without permission, said the head of State Migration Service under Ministry of Territorial Administration of Armenia Gagik Yeganyan to Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Yeganyan found it difficult to specify the number of foreign citizens working in Armenia, due to absence of relevant statistical data.
