The Parliament has approved amendments
regarding a status of Lazika with a first reading. The amendments were
supported by 106 votes against 1.
On today’s special session of the Parliament, it
was decided that the 5th paragraph will be added to the Article 3 in
the Constitution, according to which, status of the city Lazika will be
determined with an organic law.
Lazika located at the Black Sea will unify four
zones – residential, leisure and recreation zone, as well as travel and special
economic zones.
We will recall you that the author of the
amendments in Constitution is Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili. In

the parliamentary majority and opposition, as well as
constitutionalists.
In addition, the project was initiated a month ago and
it will be approved by the legislative body till the end of their
