    Arthur Abraham's nationality: Armenian or German

    I recently got into a dispute with another editor on Wikipedia about Arthur Abraham's nationality. He was born and raised in Armenia, he later moved to Germany and is now a German citizen as well as an Armenian citizen: he has duel-citizenship. I argued that his nationality is Armenian and that he should be represented with the Armenian flag next to his name, another editor said that he is German and should be represented with the German flag.

    Do you guys think his nationality should be Armenian or German? And why?

    Very few German-based boxers are of German descent.

                Since he has dual citizenship he can choose for himself. But since he chose to become a german citizen a case can definetely be made for him being german.

                    He chose to become a german citizen because he resides in germany due to poor living conditions in armenia. in an interview, he was asked why he represented germany and he answered that there are certain things he cannot do due to his contract. he later said, and i quote "germany is my office. yerevan is my home." and if you didn't know, yerevan is the capital of armenia. it seems to me like he identifies himself as armenian.
