È solo a causa del rimpatrio della diaspora armena? Se sì, si tratta di una nuova tendenza (e perché)? Oppure molti di loro vivono all’estero ma per qualche motivo hanno deciso di acquisire la cittadinanza per discendenza senza trasferirsi in Armenia?
How come so many people were granted citizenship in Armenia last year compared to Azerbaijan and Georgia?

Multiple reasons,
For Azerbaijan :
Azerbaijan doesn’t allow dual citizenship, not a lot of people are interested in renouncing their first citizenship + not the most advantageous citizenship
For Georgia :
Less non-citizen Georgians in the world compared to Armenians, Armenians are a much bigger diaspora so more eager to take Armenian citizenship
maybe a bit irrelevant, but i’m one of those people who can’t prove their heritage on paper because millions of records were lost (well, burned, due to the “conflicts”) over a century ago. and especially in rural settlements, record-keeping was never really much of a thing anyway. while i’m not particularly concerned about gaining another citizenship, i would’ve loved some form of recognition from respectful countries. it’s just sad to think about in general. an identity lost through generations, never to be fully replenished 🥀
1) Armenia’s nationality law is generous and permissive, allowing anyone to become a citizen provided they can demonstrate they have at least one grandparent of Armenian ethnicity or nationality. Neither Georgia nor Azerbaijan have such laws.
2) Overwhelming majority: Russian nationals (of Armenian descent) seeing the direction their country is going and diversifying/creating an exit strategy. Same logic but to a lesser extent are Ukranian, Syrian, Lebanese, and Iranian nationals of Armenian ethnicity.
3) The Armenian passport has realistic prospects of getting EU visa-free travel in the next five years. This is a major boon to Armenians not already in a developed country.
