Georgias incumbent President, Mikheil Saakashvili promises to give out Georgian citizenship with simplified procedures.

According to the information on his official Facebook page, those wishing to receive Georgian citizenship can apply to the Presidents Administration every working day from 10-18 pm.

"As the Ministry of Justice refuses too many applicants, we received a number of requests for Georgian citizenships. Among these people are those who have never been citizens of Georgia, or the people that have lost their citizenship, or the foreign businessmen who intend to more actively operate and invest in our country. Saakashvili announced

Meanwhile, the member of governing coalition Vakthang Khmaladze announced that the president might be deprived of the right to grant Georgian citizenship to people without taking the law procedures into consideration.

"We paid attention to this case after Saakashvili granted Georgian citizenship to hundreds of people without any examination and substantiation. Khmaladze commented.
