Just to get any feedback from the Committee we were compelled to make repeated phone calls to Consultative Committee of Finno-Ugric Peoples and Fenno-Ugria Foundation as well as to send repeated requests in written form. And so, when in April of this year Assosiation of Fino-Ugric Peoples of Russia (AFUN) made another politically motivated demarche, we were finally informed on the matter. They said, that Erzya delegation should contact with \u201crepresantatives of Mordovian people\u201d, namely Nikolai Khramov, ex-Deputy Minister of culture and tourism in Russian government, and Mikhail Yakunchev, a member of AFUN Presidency\u201d, &#8211; Syre\u015b Bol\u00e4e\u0144 resents by the response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"990\" src=\"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0001-1-700x990.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"484\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0001-1.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/?attachment_id=484\" class=\"wp-image-484\" srcset=\"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0001-1-700x990.jpg 700w, http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0001-1-212x300.jpg 212w, http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0001-1-768x1086.jpg 768w, http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0001-1-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0001-1-800x1131.jpg 800w, http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0001-1.jpg 1241w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"990\" src=\"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0002-1-700x990.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"485\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0002-1.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/?attachment_id=485\" class=\"wp-image-485\" srcset=\"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0002-1-700x990.jpg 700w, http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0002-1-212x300.jpg 212w, http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0002-1-768x1086.jpg 768w, http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0002-1-1086x1536.jpg 1086w, http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0002-1-800x1131.jpg 800w, http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4_pages-to-jpg-0002-1.jpg 1241w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Erzyans asked Eva-Maria Liimets, Estonian foreign minister, to ascertain the exact formal status of Erzya delegation at VIII World Congress of Finno-Ugric Peoples, to inform about any formal restrictions to visit Estonia by any member of Erzya delegation, to facilitate with consultations on procedural issues necessary for proper registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00abIn my view the Congress is the place to gather delegates of national representative bodies, public activists, community leaders. This is the site to discuss problems and challenges we face together, this is the place to share our experience. According to Russian officials and bureaucrats it\u2019s everything and always OK, it\u2019s nothing to worry about. They say that discussion on any problems is necessarily \u201cpolitization\u201d and \u201chand of Washington\u201d. These Russian officials don\u2019t need the Congress as a place to deliver a speech, they have enough other locations for that. Their speeches are practically identical, we have heard these dozens of times. I understand that Estonian foreign affairs ministry doesn\u2019t organize VIII World Congress of Finno-Ugric Peoples. However Congress is a respectable international event passing on territory of Estonia. The Estonian State is a receiving party. In the conditions when the Consultative Committee of Finno-Ugric Peoples redirects Erzya delegation to Mordovian officials under direct control of Moscow, I can see the only effective solution, namely to apply directly to MFA of Estonia. I made an effort to explain to Madame Minister, that Council of elders is accountable to Erzya people, and we do not coordinate our decisions neither with the ministry of culture of Republic of Mordovia nor with AFUN. We are asking not to send us in such places&#8221;, &#8212; Erzya Inyazor comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In April 2021 Assosiation of Fino-Ugric Peoples of Russia (AFUN) had officially withdrawn from participation in VIII World Congress of Finno-Ugric Peoples. AFUN accused Congress of politicizing and \u201cplaying a finno-ugric card\u201d to put pressure on Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Syre\u015b Bol\u00e4e\u0144, Inyazor and leader of Erzya delegation to VIII World Congress of Finno-Ugric Peoples appealed to Eva-Maria Liimets, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Estonia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":472,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[34],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=483"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":499,"href":"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483\/revisions\/499"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/inyazoro.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
