“Artsakh Passports Serve as Travel Documents, but Not Proof of Citizenship, Says Deputy Minister”

Residents of Artsakh can use their passports as travel documents, but not as proof of citizenship. The number of Artsakh residents applying for Armenian citizenship is unknown, according to Deputy Minister Armen Ghazaryan. The process of granting temporary and refugee status is done collectively. The Yerevan passport office has implemented an electronic queue system and a separate room for displaced persons from Artsakh.
