The Parliament of Kyrgyzstan adopted amendments to the Law on the Constitutional Court in the first reading.
At least 66 deputies voted for, 4 against.
Earlier, Speaker Nurlanbek Shakiev said that the amendments to the law are aimed at correcting the decision of the Constitutional Court on the issue of matronymic.
