The President of the Chamber of Deputies, Marcel Ciolacu, said on Wednesday that the return of the Romanian language to the status of the official language in the Republic of Moldova is „a historical normalcy” and must happen as soon as possible, according to Agerpres.

„The return of the Romanian language to the status of the official language in the Republic of Moldova is a historical normalcy and must happen as soon as possible! Phrases such as ‘state language’, ‘official language’ or ‘mother tongue’ are anomalies! I congratulated today Prime Minister Dorin Recean for supporting the initiative that the Romanian language should return to all official documents of the Republic of Moldova, including the Constitution. In addition, I sent the prime minister the results of the recent visit I made to Azerbaijan: we will ensure a part of the gas consumption requirement for the Republic of Moldova through the Azerbaijani gas import contract,” wrote Ciolacu on Facebook.

He added that he wants a subcommittee to be quickly established at the level of the Parliament to help the authorities in Chisinau with the transposition of the legislation according to European standards.

„Our common goal remains the integration of the Republic of Moldova into the European Union, and the authorities from Bucharest will support, without reservations and with all expertise, the Government and the administration from Chisinau”, emphasized Ciolacu.
