<p>If power is the goal not the language of war in the country, the
language and the world, models of compromise in the world is enough.</p>
<p>The correspondent of ГолосUA said political analyst Alexei Yakubina. </p>
<p>If the purpose of the state is not a language war, and language
world, language issues in developed countries are solved by means of
compromise, the political scientist said.</p>
<p>“No European country is not, which would be built on the language of
unity. Language issues need to be resolved by consensus, not imposing
them. The examples are many, including in the Euro-Atlantic world”, –
said A. Yakubina.</p>
<p>The analyst added that in the European Union language policy is built
not only on the country level, but also at the level of the European
Union. All the languages of EU countries are considered as official
languages in the European community. All the languages of the countries –
EU members immediately considered as official languages of the European
Union. </p>

<p>“For example, Cyprus was a similar situation with Ukraine. There is
the territory of Northern Cyprus, which is still Turkish. Greek part of
Cyprus, which is part of the European Union, adopted at the legislative
level, they have two official languages – Greek and Turkish. Because of
this, Turkish language is one of languages of the European Union,
although Turkey is not an EU member, and Cyprus. It turns out that,
thanks to this compromise with the Turkish Northern part of Cyprus, the
Turkish language is one of the official languages of the European Union.
It is officially used by the European Union at international meetings,
etc.” – said A. Yakubina</p>
<p>The analyst stressed that outside of the European Union, the
bilingualism is used in the state of Israel. There is now a new law on
the functioning of the country’s two official languages – Hebrew and
Arabic. By the way, Arabic is also considered an official language in
the European Union. Moreover, in the Israeli Parliament are Arab parties
that use and declare this language. And despite the fact that Israel is
positioning itself as an ultra-state for Jews only, they have this
accent. It is a state created after the genocide in Europe, they even
often emphasize the Jewish character of the state. However, this,
nevertheless, does not interfere at the level of language policy to use
the Arabic language, and he is not oppressed even within the walls of
the Israeli Parliament – the Knesset.</p></div></div></div></div>
