Rights conferred / regime under AM-DSC-01 (Birth (in or outside Armenia) to one RA-citizen parent — constitutional right to acquire):

Substantive entitlement: Birth (in or outside Armenia) to one RA-citizen parent — constitutional right to acquire. RA citizenship rights flow from the operative HO-16 1995 + HO-75-N 2007 + HO-4-N 2025 framework plus the constitutional anchor (Const Art 14 nationality framework + Art 30 dual-citizenship + Art 47 ethnic-Armenian repatriation rights + diplomatic-protection guarantee).

Substantive rights chain: full RA passport rights; voting rights in RA elections per Const Art 48-49; protection abroad per Const Art 47 §8 diplomatic-protection guarantee; dual-citizenship permission post-2007 HO-75-N reform; pension and social-security access per RA framework; equal access to RA employment and property-rights frameworks.

Substantive conditions for AM-DSC-01 (Birth (in or outside Armenia) to one RA-citizen parent — constitutional right to acquire):

Statutory anchor: Birth (in or outside Armenia) to one RA-citizen parent — constitutional right to acquire. Conditions vary by track within the DSC bucket:

For standard naturalization (Art 13 part 1): minimum 3-year residence in RA + Armenian language proficiency + Constitution familiarity (test). For accelerated spousal (Art 13 part 2 clause 1 first prong): marriage to RA citizen — track-specific residence reduction; PARENT-of-RA-citizen-child (second prong) operates as a parallel statutory branch.

For ethnic-Armenian simplified procedure (Art 47 §3-4 constitutional + Art 13 part 2 clause 3 statutory): ethnic-Armenian descent verification (no language requirement; no residence threshold); operationalised through repatriation procedure. Cilician dynasty / Holy See of Cilicia framework — historical Armenian polity (1198-1375) preserved in modern Armenian Apostolic Church canon law via the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia (Antelias, Lebanon, since 1930). Genealogical-descent pathway frequently surfaces in repatriation under Art 47 §3-4 constitutional + Art 13 part 2 clause 3 statutory (ethnic-Armenian simplified procedure).

For derivative/automatic acquisition (jus sanguinis Art 11-12 + adoption Art 17 + foundling Art 13 part 1 statelessness branch): no application required; constitutive at birth/adoption/finding.

For restoration (Art 14): post-HO-75-N 2007 reform; for post-1995-renunciation restoration via Art 13 part 2 clause 4 simplified procedure. HO-75-N (26 February 2007) — Dual-citizenship reform trigger keyed to Genocide-recognition arc (April 24 1915 commemoration). Pre-2007 dual-citizenship was constitutionally prohibited (Const 1995 Art 14(2)); HO-75-N constitutionally permitted dual citizenship through reform of Const Art 30 and lifted the renunciation requirement. Cohort-second reform-arc with diaspora trigger (paralleling IS L. 9/2003 EEA + diaspora liberalization).

Authority: PVS (Police of RA) + MCS (Migration and Citizenship Service of MoIA) — bifurcated administrative authority. President signs naturalization decrees (Art 26 of HO-16 + Constitution Art 132 powers). E-system mcs-citizenship.am mandatory channel from 2026-01-01.
