ASTANA. November 7. KAZINFORM /Serik Sabekov/ "It is necessary to adopt a law "On state language of the Republic of Kazakhstan" in our country", President of the Kazakh Humanitarian Law University Maksut Narikbayev has said today at the international scientific-practical conference "Kazakhstan: on the way to unity and diversity", opened in Astana University of Humanities and Law.

According to him, big work has been done in the language space of our country. Particular successes were achieved in realization of the provision of the Law "On languages". The political and social situation in the society is stable. But the problem of usage of the Kazakh language as the state language remains as acute as 20 years ago.

"The draft Law "On state Language of Kazakhstan" was already developed and published in "Ana Tili" newspaper in 2008. Besides, it was discussed at conferences, workshops with participation of mass media representatives, NGOs and public authorities. Upon the results of the discussion the draft Law was appreciated as one of many variants, prepared earlier, meeting demands of the tome. We - authors of the Law - are sure that such Law is necessary", M.Narikbayev said.
