Support the initiative to introduce compulsory in the Udmurt language in Udmurtia

Dear friends and colleagues!
In late February, the Parliament will consider a proposal Udmurtia Vseudmurtskoy Association "Udmurt Kenesh" on the introduction of the Udmurt language compulsory in all schools in the country.
Compulsory study of the national language was introduced in a given volume of all the national republics of the Volga and Urals except Udmurtia.
We support this initiative and believe that it will create systemic conditions for more sustainable reproduction of the Udmurt language and learning the Udmurt language as Udmurt, whose families do not speak or have little to say in Udmurt, and citizens of the republic of other nationalities.
Recently, as we approach the State Council session at which the amendment will be considered, there are more negative signs for the initiative:
- Chairman of the State Council on December 31 V. Nevostruev at a press conference, said that the study of the Udmurt not be mandatory ;
- 23 January, Chairman of the State Council commissions had worked profile Natalia Sudarikova called this initiative futile .
Also quite loud voices against the initiative and some alarmist statements , sustained in a provocative manner.
We are now very important to show MPs Udmurtia and the public that many supporters of the initiative, and their arguments - slim and convincing.
We can not do without your support.
We ask you to help the brotherly Udmurt people in their struggle for the institutionalization of the Udmurt language.
