We welcome the recommendation you are preparing regarding the right of all peoples to receive education in their mothertongue, as well as the Council of Europe Recommendation 1333/1997 reaffirming our recognition as a people and calling upon the states where we live to help us preserve our language and our identity. We hope both recommendations will help Armans (Macedonarmans) to continue to live, as they have always have, whilst preseving their language and culture. Thank you for your attention. Nicolas CARACOTA
