Aydamirov as part of the implementation of the state national policy, the Year of the Chechen Language, announced in the Chechen Republic this year.
The Year of the Chechen Language is an important event in the republic. This is a good reason to recall the history of the development of the native language, to think about the attitude to the native language since language is the culture of the people.
