<b><i>Sofia. </i></b>“Generally, we are interested in not
allowing influence from radicals and nationalists, who at the moment are
obviously trying to play on the first violin. Moved by revolutionary
feelings, they make decisions, which are directly violating the rights
of big part of Ukraine,” said Russian Ambassador to Bulgaria, Yuriy
Isakov, said in an interview with <b>FOCUS News Agency</b>.<br><br>
“We cannot stay unconcerned about decisions, such as the rejection of
the state language policy act, which was adopted after a long national
dialogue in Ukraine. <br>
This paper, which was in line with the European Charter for Regional or
Minority Languages, sets the right of the national minorities to use
their mother tongue. It did not concern only the Russians but also the
Bulgarians, Poles, Romanians, Hungarians and others,” the Ambassador
said. <br><br><a href="http://www.focus-fen.net/news/2014/03/02/328791/russian-ambassador-to-bulgaria-we-cannot-unconcerned-about-decisions-such-as-the-one-on-language-policy-act.html">http://www.focus-fen.net/news/2014/03/02/328791/russian-ambassador-to-bulgaria-we-cannot-unconcerned-about-decisions-such-as-the-one-on-language-policy-act.html</a><br clear="all">
