The term nationality refers to the biologically determined, stable unity of people, which is formed historically and is represented in shape of tribe and people (Russians, Georgians, Polish etc). The term nationality is more tighter, than the term nation. But we can note some differences between them: there are some nationalities without own nationhood. The representatives of one and the same nationality can be divided among different states (e.g. Armenians, Jewish etc.).
The term nationality refers to citizenship of a particular state (country). As most of the states are consisted of more than one ethnic group, nationality does not always coincides with ethnicity [1].
