Law of Armenia

Law of Armenia

The law of Armenia is enforced by the Police Service. The right of return is specified in the law of Armenia under Article 14 of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia (1995), which provides that " [i] Individuals of Armenian origin shall acquire citizenship of the Republic of Armenia through a simplified procedure." [1] This provision is consistent with the Declaration on Independence of Armenia, issued by the Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Armenia in 1989, which declared at article 4 that "Armenians living abroad are entitled to the citizenship of the Republic of Armenia". Human rights are upheld by the law of Armenia much more than most other former Soviet republics. The Constitution was amended in December 2005 to provide for freedom of religion, however there are some restrictions in practice.
