ADYGEA, 26 January, CaucasusTimes. Council of Republic of State Council – Hase of Adygea passed a law “On referendum in the Republic of Adygea”, which was adopted in a second reading. Vladimir Karataev, Deputy of a Lower Chamber of Republican Parliament told CaucasusTimes correspondent about the details of the process. He explained that parliamentary deputy Anatoly Osokin, Chairman of Legislation Committee of the Council of Republic, submitted a proposal to hold a second voting. Karataev said that 19 deputies who took part in the second voting passed this law.

Vyacheslav Bekukh, Head of Legal Committee of an Upper Chamber of Parliament explained CaucasusTimes correspondent that now this law should be approved by the Council of Parliamentary Representatives and after that this law will be submitted to the President who is supposed to sign the law.

Another scenario of possible development is that in case this law is not approved, it will be returned back to Lower Chamber of Parliament for overcoming veto. However, this would be possible only by the votes of the two thirds of deputies.

It it worth of mentioning that in the opinion of Adygean public, passing of law on referendum in its current format can lead to a liquidation of the republic since this law does not include a ban on holding a referendum concerning the status and borders of Adygea. It it also worth of noting that former law on referendum in Adygea which contained those norms was cancelled in summer last year on the initiative of federal authorities in the republic including Prosecutor’s Office and Ministry of Justice.

The “Free Eurasia” project is an independent media platform based in Prague, with an ambitious mission to provide the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus with high-quality, objective and timely information in their national languages. We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus. We aim to strengthen the region’s informational sovereignty by expanding access to truthful sources and raising media literacy. At the same time, we support the development of national languages as key elements of identity and cultural heritage, encouraging public discussion and engagement. The project seeks to become a catalyst for building a strong civil society and defending democratic values, helping to train new professional journalists and fostering international cooperation.
