April 19, 2002

Moscow, April 19 (MK-Novosti). The leader of the Duma YABLOKO faction Grigory Yavlinsky insists on removing the draft law "On Citizenship in the RF" from the third reading in the Duma today, as the text differs from the version adopted by the lower chamber in the second reading. The information disseminated by the press service of the faction on behalf of faction leader Grigory Yavlinsky indicates that the text of the draft law "On Citizenship in the RF" offered deputies today does not contain the amendment of the YABLOKO faction deputies Sergei Popov, Igor Artemyev and Mikhail Emelyanov that was unanimously adopted by the Duma and supported by the representative of the President in the Duma Alexander Kotenkov. The amendment enabled a disabled parent whose child has Russian citizenship to obtain Russian citizenship in a simplified order, regardless of the term of residence in the RF and other conditions. YABLOKO also insists on drafting the law on citizenship in accordance with the text adopted by the chamber in the second reading.
