Russland.ru gibt dazu eine Meldung von RIA/Novosti weiter:
Der Kongress hat ausschließlich eine wissenschaftliche Richtung und ist der Erörterung der jüngsten wissenschaftlichen Leistungen und Forschungen auf dem Gebiet der ugro-finnischen Sprachwissenschaft gewidmet, obwohl auch Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens eingeladen wurden. Ein hohes wissenschaftliches Niveau des Kongresses wird es ermöglichen, die Hauptrichtung der Entwicklung der Forschung der ugro-finnischen Sprachen in den nächsten Jahren vorauszubestimmen“, sagte Valeri Markow, Vorsitzender der Assoziation der ugro-finnischen Völker der Russischen Föderation, in einem RIA-Nowosti-Interview.
Aha, also nur wissenschaftliche Fragen werden erörtert. Gut zu wissen. Bei Ugri.info kann man dagegen ganz andere Dinge erfahren:
These circumstances have cast a shadow on the most important event for fennougrists, the international congress. Its President Prof. Yuri Anduganov was recently killed in a mysterious car crash. Three years ago Anduganov was constrained to leave Mari El and continued his work in the neighbouring region; like many other fennougrists, he had doubts about holding a congress in Mari El in the present situation. Many scientists from all over the world have joined The Appeal on Behalf of the Mari People (see http://www.ugri.info/mari). The Appeal was signed by each tenth of those who had intended to participate in this congress and, outside Russia, even by each fourth. Many have now refused to attend the event held in the Mari capital. For example, out of the initial 70 members of the Hungarian delegation, only some twenty have arrived.
One of those who refused to attend the congress, Finnish member of the International Organizing Committee Prof. Pauli Saukkonen, sent the following letter to the Organizing Committee:
'I will thus cancel my participation to the X International Congress of Finno-Ugric Studies as a PROTEST against president Markelov's administration and the Russian Foreign Ministry. The answer of the Russian Foreign Ministry to the resolution of European Parliament, concerning the oppression against the Maris and other Finno-Ugric people, included lies and support to Markelov's policy. This i s n o t against the local Organizing Committee. On the contrary: all my best wishes to the Congress and Finno-Ugric Associations.'
The authorities of Yoshkar-Ola have prepared the riot police ready for action. The last week the police carried out exercises in the centre of the city to improve the technique of blocking the street traffic, dispersing demonstrators and evacuating people from the Opera House where the congress will hold its plenary sessions. A ban has been imposed on public assembly in Yoshkar-Ola. The city administration refused to permit the Mari organisation Mari Ushem to hold a meeting this Sunday to welcome the delegates.
Wann werden die ersten deutschen Journalisten endlich in diese Gegend geschickt und berichten aktuell? Immerhin beschäftigen die Vorgänge in Mari El bereits die europäischen Institutionen.
