Being of Armenian origin and carrying Armenian genetics Genealogy members have been granted Armenian Citizenship which they have applied for earlier. For receiving their Armenian passports they have been invited to the office of the president of the Republic of Armenia where the President Serzh Sargsyan himself handed in their Armenian passports.
