At the meeting of the Parliamentary Committee for the Protection of Human Rights and Civil Integration, the head of the political group "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya presented a draft of amendments to the Organic Law "On the Citizenship of Georgia", which provides for the simplification of procedures for obtaining citizenship for persons who left Georgia for various reasons and their children.
During the presentation of the bill, Fridon Indzhiya stated that the main purpose of these changes is to simplify the procedures for granting citizenship to those persons who were forced to move to live in another state due to difficult economic, political or military conditions, as well as their children.
"It is necessary to insert into the law provisions that will facilitate the acquisition of citizenship for persons who wish to return to their historical roots, so that there are no restrictions and barriers for them, such as testing in the state language, the history of Georgia and the foundations of law. Primery tom - Israel, Greece... Such a policy from the state will contribute to the strengthening of the country", said Fridon Indzhiya.
One of the initiators of this project of changes, the vice-speaker of the Parliament, Avtandil Enukidze, emphasized at the meeting of the commission that their task is to encourage Georgians to return to their homeland.
"If a person was born a Georgian, wherever he was born, he is a Georgian... He does not know the language, if he is not allowed into the country, he will never learn the language," Avtandil Enukidze said.
Some members of the Committee on Human Rights and Civil Integration supported the idea and principle of the draft law.
