Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

I found it on wikipedia : "A Lawful Permanent Resident can apply for United States citizenship, or naturalization, after five years of residency. This period is shortened to three years if married to a U.S. citizen, or four years if permanent residency was received through asylum."

Is that true that a permanent resident can apply for citizenship after 4 years if got his residency through asylum?

Yes, that's true. It will be 5+ years from the grant of asylum, and 4 years from becoming a permanent resident based on approved asylum application.
