The passport issue spoiled the mood: Karapetyan threw a tantrum at journalists

01 July 2026 [12:21] - TODAY.AZ

Samvel Karapetyan, leader of the Strong Armenia party, has again found himself at the center of attention after being asked about his multiple citizenships. Responding to questions about his Russian and Cypriot passports, he said: "When I become Prime Minister, I will only be a citizen of Armenia. Be content with that."

 

The statement suggests that the issue of renouncing other citizenships, if necessary, will be addressed only after he assumes office. However, that scenario remains hypothetical. Before any political ambitions can be realized, Karapetyan must first resolve his current legal situation. He remains in custody, and the outcome of the court proceedings will determine what comes next.

 

For now, discussions about a future premiership remain secondary to the judicial process that lies ahead.
