Language Patrols Organized by Kazakh Nationalists have the right to demand from service shops in the Kazakh language, and there is no infringement of Russian rights. This was stated by the chairman of the parliamentary faction of Kazakhstan “Ak Zhol” Azat Peruashev on the air radio station “Say Moscow”.
Earlier on the network, video recordings were published on which activists conduct “language patrols” in stores and government agencies. The nationalists check whether labels are translated in stores into Kazakh and whether sellers and civil servants communicate on it. They also make me apologize to the Russian residents of the Republic and call them “gastarbaters”, in particular, for the words about the role of Russia in the formation of Kazakh statehood.
Peruashev assured that he is not familiar with these videos. At the same time, he stressed that the demands of local residents to use in speech only the Kazakh language are legitimate and do not violate the rights of other citizens, so considering such a behavior as a nationalist campaign against Russians is not worth it.
“Kazakhstan is a multinational state. We have mutual respect for each other in tradition, and everyday conflicts and Soviet times were,” the nationalists acquired a deputy of parliament.
