According to VNIIKs studbook rules and international standards for publications of studbooks volume X of the General Studbook should not be approved and the organization and management responsible for the breech of the studbook rules should be dissolved. A thorough investigation regarding the methods and practices performed by VNIIK under the leadership of T.N. Ryabova of the registration of purebred Akhal-Tekes between the years 1993 and 2005 needs to be performed by a professional and transparent organization.

After a revision of volume X a decision can be made if VNIIK has the competence and capacity to perform accurate registration and keep a current and correct studbook for the pure bred Akhal-Tekes worldwide.
