Changes and additions to the law "On citizenship" would increase the volume of work of the embassies and consulates of Azerbaijan abroad. This, in turn, will create some problems for the citizens, the head of the "Constitutional Studies" Fund, Alimammad Nuriyev, told in an interview Objective TV. He believes that enforcing the law is necessary to strengthen the possibility of on-line applications from citizens. Currently embassies and consulates cannot provide citizens with the necessary electronic services. This may cause corruption, loss time, additional financial expenditure, says Nuriyev.
At the same time, he believes that the additions and changes to the law will not lead to an automatic loss of citizens for the Azerbaijani citizens living abroad.
"Changes to the law are apply to the period after July 1, 2014. If an Azerbaijani living abroad has the citizenship of another country, he will serve in the army of this country to be elected to municipal or other authorities, then the law can be applied.
If all the above is no the above mentioned, and the citizen of Azerbaijan is working abroad in the private or public sector, he will not lose citizenship of Azerbaijan," says Nuriyev.
In his view, changes in the law are provides due to the elimination of gaps in the laws relating to public relations. "This law is of sociopolitical character, and it is necessary to consider the possible threat to Azerbaijan," said Nuriyev. -03B04-
