CONSET LETTER

I, named, Ts.Sodondorj, 63 years old and from Khotont soum, Arkhangai province. I living in Khotong soum whole my life.

By this consent letter, I would like to express my full commitment and support in all stages of the activities of the preparation of the Nomination File of the element "Traditional Technique of Airag -Making in Khokhuur and its Associated Customs" into the UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Since ancient times, Mongolians have lived on the vast grassland steppe and they have created

the nomadic culture based on the pastoral husbandry.

The traditional mare's airag making has been evolved for thousands of years and passed down to

us. Airag is one of the inseparable parts ofthe Mongolian culture, moreover it gives strength and

cheerfulness, and helps to improve the living body metabolisms.

Furthermore, Airag-making associated with various of other ICH elements such as Mare milking ceremony, Custom of tethering the foals, Foal weanling ceremony, Foal branding ceremony and Dembee, a finger guessing game with singing and so on.

I think, it's right time to inscrine Airag-making into the !CH Representative list of UNESCO.
