The new citizenship law of Minister of Justice Iunian provides for a new term within which the residents of the provinces annexed by Roumania since the war can apply for citizenship.
For those who have no right to citizenship automatically, the new law provides individual naturalization. The necessary ten years residence will be counted not from the day in which the application is filed, but from the day of one’s residence in Roumania.
The project on the whole has satisfied the minorities, although it doesn’t include all of their demands for making it easier for residents of the annexed provinces to became Roumanian citizens. The report in yesterday’s Bulletin about 200,000 Jewish refugees in Bessarabia, was due to a typographical error.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
