From my experience, it is much more simple to go to Armenia as a US citizen. When I went back to Armenia in 2000, I only had a green card (so just a permanent resident, not a citizen). Needless to say, they treated us like crap at the airports, making us wait for hours upon hours for the "paperwork". I was going to snap, and the only thing that kept me going was that I would be seeing my loved ones after all these years in a day or two. But again, I don't know...this could only be specific to our case as far as I know. But in my opinion, if you have US citizenship, they are less likely to mess with you.

I'm not sure if that answered your question, but I tried.

I see your point, thats why I prefer my US citizenship to my Russian and Azeri ones. (Im not even legally suppose to use those two anymore) They can be such bastards. I can only imagine the fun I will have at the airports this summer. Im gonna wear a big cross at the US airports so they dont think Im Muslim and try to strip search me. lol

I wanna know that I need to apply for a seporate visa to Armenia after I get a visa to go to Russia. I ask because Ive heard of people going back and forth there without visa's like its still the same country. It seems to me like I should get seporate visas for both, but Im not sure.

If your still able to visit Russia with your Russian passport then you should, cause getting a visa to russia is a big hassle and is going to cost you a lot of money. I suggest you look into it on their Embassy website. And most likely you would need a visa to enter a foreign land, but maybe for US citizens or Russian citizens they can enter without a visa, you should look into that as well. Just contact the embassy if you cant find the information online.

My mom is taking care of the Russian stuff. I am asking about Armenian visa because my mom doesnt support my desire to visit Armenia from Russia.

Armenia is the second country in the world that allows you to have e-visas. Visit www.armeniaforeignministry.com

It apparently works pretty well.

(and whatever you do, don't try using your azeri passport )
