Russia has no claims to Tajikistan regarding Russian language.

DUSHANBE, July 31 (Itar-Tass) -- Russia has no claims to Tajikistan
regarding the use of Russian language in the Central Asian republic, where
it is recognized as the language of inter-ethnic communication.

"We do not need any explanations as the status of the language is
fixed in the Constitution," Kremlin foreign policy aide Sergei Prikhodko
said on Thursday.
"The use of the Russian language is in the interests of Tajikistan,"
he said, adding "there are no claims" regarding the use of the Russian
language in the republic.
Last week Tajik President Emomali Rakhmon urged to pass a new language
law that will switch state communications exclusively to the Tajik
language, while at present Russian-language information is also available.
However, Prikhodko praised the Tajik president for his personal
contribution to Russian language education. Programs have been launched to
send Russian-language teachers to Tajikistan, to open affiliates of
Russian institutes and Russian-language classes in secondary schools.
Numerous Tajiks are labor migrants in Russia, and while discussing the
issue Rakhmon said "the people are also the carriers of the Russian
language and Tajikistan is interested in that they have a possibility to
work in Russia and study the Russian language."
Many Tajiks had to return back home from Russia after the economic
crisis erupted.
