The Armenian parliament today overwhelmingly approved the third and final reading of a bill allowing Armenia's large diaspora to hold dual citizenship, RFE/RL's Armenian Service reported.
Under the draft law, dual citizenship holders will be able to vote in Armenian elections provided they are registered in the country as residents.
The country's ruling Republican Party, initially opposed to granting voting rights to members of the Diaspora, backed the bill.
