"Abkhazian inhabitants’ becoming Russian citizens does not mean that the republic has become a part of Russia. We build the independent state. Abkhazia will be never included into the united Georgian state but we are ready to support good-neighbourhood with Georgia", - declared on October, 28th the speaker of Abkhazian parliament Nuzgar Ashuba at the meeting with the assistant to the special representative of the Secretary General of the United Nations Iwo Petrov.
The assistant to the special representative was interested in the bill "About citizenship in Republic of Abkhazia" approved by the parliament in the second reading. Ashuba told Iwo Petrov that before passing that law, they had studied other countries’ experience: "Our citizens must have both the citizenship, and the passports which we soon shall begin giving out", - the speaker told. Thus he added that for free moving the citizens of Abkhazia became Russian citizens and received the Russian passports. "We shall not give out anybody the Abkhazian passports and citizenship under force", - the speaker informed, meaning inhabitants of Galsky area. "In case when they have the Georgian citizenship, and they do not wish to change it, they will receive residence permit in Abkhazia", - summarized Ashuba.
Let's remind, on these days Iwo Petrov was met by the vice-president Raul Hadzhimba and the prime minister Alexander Ankvab.
