“Our regions, as national subjects of the Russian Federation, always compare their maps, their anniversaries, achievements, their decisions, which they make when the country steps forward. From this point of view, we probably arrived late, a hundred years have passed. If we arrived a little over 1000 years ago, we would not need an interpreter, I would speak the same language with you. We have come for future generations to show the direction where to go - to preserve the traditions and the beauty that exists in this world: there is no other such people. We have already signed an agreement in the draft: the circus, the library, and our archives will work together, ”noted Yuri Kupriyanov.
“Yakutia and Tatarstan have a lot in common. First of all, we have common roots: we are one language group. And the most important thing is absolute synergy in determining the cultural priorities of the cultural policy of our regions. We are responsible not only for providing a comfortable and accessible cultural environment in our territories, but we are also responsible for the preservation of our national cultures, ”said Minister of Culture of the Republic of Tatarstan Irada Ayupova.
