Press release, 21.08.2000
The Yabloko faction insists on an independent parliamentary enquiry into the causes of the “Kursk” submarine disaster
The Yabloko faction considers it necessary to conduct an independent parliamentary enquiry into the causes of the accident, in particular the rescue operation of the nuclear submarine “Kursk”, First Deputy Head of the Yabloko faction in the State Duma, Sergei Ivanenko, told journalists today.

“The state, represented by the Federal Assembly of Russian Federation, must answer the question asked by society: whether everything possible was done to save the people,” said Ivanenko.

According to Sergei Ivanenko, “the abstract discussions which we conducted for many years on making changes to the Constitution, which envisage the

creation of a institution of parliamentary enquiry and civil control over the armed forces have now assumed an absolutely clear and distinct form”.

The Yabloko faction will demand that the State Duma of the RF create a special commission to investigate all the circumstances of the “Kursk” submarine disaster.

The Yabloko faction will insist that the law, which has already been adopted at its first reading, on making an amendment to the Constitution of the RF on establishing an institution of parliamentary enquiry should be considered as soon as possible.

The Yabloko faction is also going to promote a law on civil control over the military, the interior and secret service.
