KOCHARYAN DOESN’T GRANT CITIZENSHIP TO A WAR HERO

Robert Kocharyan has recently ignored the application by Jirayr Sefilyan on citizenship. Sefilyan was the Commander of Shushi special battalion during Artsakh War.

Later he was the Commander of NKR Defense Army brigade. He is a knight of “Battle Cross” Order. During the recent years Sefilyan coordinates “Protection of Liberated Territories” social initiative.

Intelligentsia Forum focused its attention on the fact president’s staff didn’t grant citizenship to Jirayr Sefilyan. Intelligentsia Forum established on the initiative of Silva Kaputikyan, Rafael Ghazaryan, Khoren Palyan, Lenser Aghalovyan, Sargis Muradyan and other intellectuals approved a statement condemning refusal by Kocharyan at its March 6 conference.
