Pyotr Poposhev, deputy chair of the State Assembly — El Kurultai committee on national policy, education, culture, public associations and media, took part in a meeting of the organising committee preparing for Altai Language Day.
Participants reviewed progress on the event plan and discussed decorating the façades of institutions and holding a ceremony.
A regional law adopted in 2021 established October 20 as Altai Language Day, coinciding with the birthday of poet L. V. Kokyshev. The holiday aims to preserve, support and develop Altai, which has state-language status in the republic.
