SOVIET PASSPORTS EXPIRE DATE TO BE EXTENDED
A sitting of the Milli Majlis permanent commission on legal policy and state building took place on May 3.
The sitting participants discussed the bill “On amendments to the Milli Majlis Executive Order No 818 of June 14, 1994”, “On coming into effect of laws of the Azerbaijan Republic”, “On entrance, departure and on passports”, “On identity card of the citizen of the Azerbaijan Republic”.
The bill signed by President of Azerbaijan provides for extension of the period of validity of old soviet passports.
In the course of discussions, it was noted that passports expire date was extended many times without fixing the exact date. The new amendments imply June 30, 2005 as a deadline.
Then, it was decided to bring this bill in the Milli Majlis.
