The investigation into the circumstances surrounding former Armenian President Armen Sarkissian's possible foreign citizenship is ongoing. This was reported by the press service of the Investigative Committee of Armenia.

In April 2023, the National Security Service of the Republic of Armenia transferred the case file on Sarkissian's alleged foreign citizenship to the Investigative Committee for further investigation.

As a reminder, Armen Sarkissian resigned as president on January 23, 2022, citing a lack of authority to influence the political situation in the country. A day later, on January 24, Hetq.am published information stating that prior to his election as president, Sarkissian was allegedly a citizen of the Caribbean country of Saint Kitts and Nevis, which violates the requirements for a presidential candidate.

According to Hetq.am, Sargsyan received citizenship of this country after investing $500,000 in its economy.
