The Tajik Interior Ministry is working on an official letter to the Russian Interior Ministry to amnesty 50,000 Tajik nationals deported from Russia for administrative offenses, senior ministry official Mumin Zinatov told the press on Monday. \"Some 50,000 citizens of Tajikistan were deported in 2004-2006 for administrative offenses, in particular for staying in Russia without due registration,\" he said. \"The Interior Ministry is working on a request to amnesty these individuals so that they could enter Russian territory again,\" he said. Zinatov said there are about Tajik citizens working in Russia whose earnings annually transferred to their families in Tajikistan are comparable with the size of the GDP - $2 billion. According to the International Organization for Migration, up to 900,000 Tajik nationals annually travel abroad for employment reasons, mainly to Russia. However, the leadership of the Russian Federal Migration service is skeptical about the proposal. \"It would not be quite right to clear these 50,000 people in the face of our law by simply signing one document,\" service director Konstantin Romodanovsky said on Ekho Moskvy radio. \"Each case should be studied separately. This is a big job and cannot be done in one day,\" he said. (Interfax)
