the Kyrgyz Constitution is suggested to be cancelled, the head of the
National Commission on State Language Egemberdi Ermatov said today to
reporters.</span></p>
<div id="news-id-175013">
<p>He recalled that now in the Kyrgyz Republic there is a moratorium on
changes to the Basic Law till 2020. "But some scientists raised the
question of the need for changes in terms of language policy. This was
stated recently at a scientific and practical conference on the
development of state language. Scientists propose to exclude the status
of Russian as an official. Such a rule was only in our country. We have
to develop your own language. This requires a legislative initiative on
the part of Parliament. Today, many state agencies don't keep paperwork
in Kyrgyz, referring to the rate that the Russian - is the official
language. Each week we check them according to our plan. It should be
noted that some ministries have already been transferred to the workflow
state language - Ministry of Emergency Situations, Ministry of Internal
Affairs, Ministry of Culture," Egemberdi Ermatov said.</p>
<p>The official noted that within the allocated 243 million soms, books
for kindergartens, schools, universities and government agencies in
state language will be issued. "Test of the Kyrgyz language is worked
out. Since 2016 all state and municipal employees will pass it. This
will positively affect the development of the state language.
Previously, we twice adopted the national program for the development of
the Kyrgyz language, but they didn't work, as there was no finance," he
added.</p>
