The burning question of nationality was very much in the air, since Article 14 of the Arme- nian Constitution of 1992 does not allow dual nationality.
The second con- ference, in May 2002, confirmed this commitment, stating that "Armenians cannot be viewed as 'aliens' in their motherland," and that being able to acquire dual nationality would allow "every Armenian to establish a full-fledged presence in his or her mother- land."3 Constitutional reform, notably on the subject of dual nation- ality, was at the heart of the 2003 presidential campaign, but the vic- tory of the "no" vote in the constitutional referendum of 25 May 2003 caused the question to be temporarily shelved.
In the mid-1990s the refusal by all the new states except Turkmenistan and Tajikistan to grant dual nationality to "ethnic Russians" thwarted Russia's policy of maintaining links in the hope that these "Russians" would return, at a time when the country was losing population.
The heightened interest of countries of origin in their émigrés, and vice versa, can be clearly seen in the growing acceptance of dual nationality.
A demand for dual nationality increasingly parallels a demand for dual citizenship, which allows people to vote in the national elections of their country of origin.
