Hundreds of people in Kazakhstan hold double citizenship

Astana. January 29. KazTAG - Hundreds of people in Kazakhstan hold double citizenship, said Marat Kozhayev, First Deputy Minister of Interior Affairs of Kazakhstan.
"Such things happen, there are dozens of such cases, at times hundreds of double citizenship facts. Litigations often reveal that people do it intentionally in order to use the social privileges, get pensions, or for border crossing," said Kozhayev.
He added that this situation takes place despite tough legal responsibility for the violation.
"About 500 people used the documents of our state although they had nationalized in another state," he said.
