The authorities in Nagorno-Karabakh have again refused to grant citizenship to a bitter critic of Armenias government who played a prominent role in the 1991-1994 war with Azerbaijan, it emerged on Monday.

He has since been based in Yerevan, cooperating with local opposition leaders and actively campaigning against any territorial concessions to Azerbaijan.
