Azad-Hye Special In 2007 the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia was amended and appropriate legislation was passed allowing dual citizenship, thus paving the road in front of the Diaspora Armenians for acquiring Armenian citizenship. Until then, Chapter 1 of the Law of the Citizenship of the Republic of Armenia, which was signed in 1995 by President Levon Ter Petrossian, stated clearly, “a citizen of the Republic of Armenia may not be a citizen of another country at the same time“. Following the adopted changes, thousands of future citizens have already filed for the Armenian citizenship. Under this legislation, persons of Armenian descent who live in foreign countries can file for the Armenian citizenship through the Embassies, while the procedure takes no more than a year. The Consular Office of the Embassy of Armenia in Abu Dhabi has taken all measures to accept citizenship applications. Questions such as how to apply, what documents are needed, how the applications will be processed, are all clearly answered by the Embassy staff. Already, in the past few months Ambassador Vahagn Melikian met with the Armenian Community members in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Kuwait, in three separate occasions, providing extensive explanations about the procedures involved in the process of applying for the citizenship. This was a great encouragement for the community members. It also helped them to benefit from their summer vacations in order to secure official documents from their original countries, required for the citizenship process. It is expected that after the summer vacations considerable number of Armenians will be applying for the citizenship through the Abu Dhabi Embassy. “Dual citizenship is an important mechanism that is further bringing together the Homeland and the Diaspora. We are ready in the Consulate to provide every single detail and assistance that will make the applying for Armenian citizenship a memorable event for all those who have the will to start a new kind of relationship with Armenia, based on full citizenship, with all accruing rights and duties”, said Marat Melikian, Consul in Abu Dhabi. For more information about the documents required to apply for the Armenian citizenship and for downloading the application form click here. |

Posted by Helena Cray on Wednesday, August 20, 2008 It is nice to see that fellow Armenians are on such a wide wave length, thinking about the visitors to their country! Other countries should take this idea and implement it as well. I will be in Dubai towards the end of November following attendance of the Celebrations in Calcutta, India and it will be a great opportunity for me and a few fellow travelers accompanying me to share our experience with all of you. It will also be a wonderful opportunity if we can work together and bridge your community to a smaller Armenian Community fast dwindling in India. We need to spread the word and get as many people as we can involved to bring a larger and wider awareness of the history and wealth our ancestors have left behind in India. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!! Read about Parev Emirates program and other comments here. |

Dubai: Seven members of an Armenian gang who stole from more than ten houses in different areas in Dubai were caught by police on Tuesday (05 August 2008). The gang, consisting of five men and two women, used the summer vacation when many people are away to carefully plan thefts from several houses in Dubai. The thieves were arrested in their residence in Al Qusais and the stolen goods were recovered. Among the stolen items were five laptops, jewellery, cameras, and an amount of around $50,000 in cash.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The “Blessing of the Grapes” is one of the most beloved ceremonies in the Armenian Church calendar. Most of us can recall people who would refuse to eat grapes until the fruit was “officially” sanctified by the local clergyman–a pious practice which dates back to an earlier era in the church's history, when daily life revolved around the growing seasons of an agricultural society.
