/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Georgian Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze said he
renounces his Russian citizenship, Interfax reported.
"I have already sent a request to Russian President and attached my
Russian passport," he said on November 4. "I just want to ease the
procedure for the Russian side, since the RF Constitution doesn't
envisage deprivation of citizenship."
Earlier, Russian Dima member Semen Baghdasarov urged relevant
government agencies to deprive Vashadze of Russian passport. The
deputy was indignant with the fact that "Saakashvili's team-mate
travels across our country with a Russian passport."
The Duma rejected the proposal as inexpedient and provocative.
