“Getting biometric passports is the right of citizens, not an obligation,” Head of the Passports and Visa Department of RA Police Hovhannes Kocharyan told a press conference today.
The old passports will stay in use, no deadline has been set for their expiration, Kocharyan informed.
Head of the Passports and Visa Department promised that holders of biometric passports and identification cards will feel the positive results very soon. According to him, the application of the new system will make it easier for the citizens of the Republic of Armenia to enter EU member countries.
”The system expands the right of citizens to free movement,” Hovhannes Kocharyan said.
