Moldovan Constitutional Court has permitted to review the law providing Russian with a status of the international language, TASS reports.
The sentence was a response to the corresponding request sent by the deputies of liberal parties adhering to the Western positions. They call for reunification with Romania and entry to NATO.
The status of the Russian language is stipulated in the law on languages. Liberals want to change the existing state of affairs and claim that the only language of the international communications in the republic is Romanian.
According to the specialists, the existing law is the best variant of settling the language problem. The law has been effective for 30 years making it clear for these years that the language politics is a basis for strengthening the Moldovan state system and defining the national identity.
In the opinion of Moldovan President Igor Dodon, these actions are connected to the forthcoming Parliamentary elections.
Kishinev citizens went on a strike to the building of the Constitutional Court to protest against attempts of changing the status of the Russian language. They called for preservation of the present state of affairs. Many people are sure that the initiative of the liberals is nothing but an attempt to raise their rating.
