Bishkek, July 5 /TASS /. The president of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Zhaparov called the position of some politicians who supported the abandonment of Russian language in the country. He declared this in an interview with the state news agency Kyrgyz “Kabar”.
“If you come to Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, you will not be able to communicate there without Russian. Do not mention other CIS countries. If you are traveling to Europe, the US, China, then use Russian translators. The proposal of politicians to change the situation of Russian is wrong,” he said.
According to him, the residents of Kyrgyzstan need Russian, but “not the Russian language needs us”.
The head of Kyrgyz State is convinced that the Sloves language is needed in the Republic. But you need to know both Russian and English. About half of the world used these two languages, he continued. As president noted, at present, the youth of the Republic sometimes speaks 3-4 languages, allowing people to communicate freely anywhere in the world.
The State language in Kyrgyzstan is Kyrgyz, Russian has an official status, mainly prescribed in the country's law. Recently, some of the country's politicians began to call the government to deprive Russia's official language.
