Russian Language to Lose Its Official Status

Russian will lose its official status of “interethnic communication language” in Tajikistan. According to the bill promoted by Tajikistani President Emomalii Rahmon, all communication with state bodies will be possible only in Tajik language. Under the new law each Tajikistani citizen will be obliged to know Tajik. Experts opine that this may create substantial communicational difficulties for ethnic minorities residing in Tajikistan, such as Uzbeks.
