Dear Mr.Chairman!
In October, 2006 the President of Uzbekistan
Islam Karimov has openly expressed that mutiny in Andizjan is caused by discontent of people
with local authorities. The participation in a brutal crime the head of the state
has not recognized....
However, EU, on behalf of Minister for
Foreign Affairs of Federal Republic Germany of Foreign Minister Frank-Walter
Steinmeier and the working chairman of
OSCE, Minister for Foreign Affairs and cooperation of Kingdom of Spain Miguel Angel
Moratinos, nevertheless try to cover with oblivion bloody Andizjan events on May,
13th, 2005 and to adjust relations with Uzbekistan to great undisguised pleasure of the Uzbek government, ready to be turned
out before the European visitors inside out.
What that can connect such different countries as Germany and Uzbekistan.
And why, according to the official information, the high-ranking Spanish visitor marks, that Uzbekistan
«consistently goes on a way of strengthening of safety and stability, development of democratic institutes and formations
of a civil society», and also «brings the worthy contribution to many-sided and fruitful activity of OSCE ».
It for a long time not a secret, that a priority in any interstate activity, whether it be social or political questions, are economic interests.
Than has interested Uzbekistan so, what it is possible to shut eyes to obvious infringements of human
rights and mass violence? Raw natural resources of Uzbekistan
are not a source of prosperity of republic, but a source of well-being of presidential family and them friends.
However, for blinding the European politicians, authorities, apparently, are ready on any victims.
Minister for Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan
Vladimir Norov has so eloquently placed points in a question on the Andizjan events of 2005 and the attitude of the Uzbek
government to all world community - «government of Uzbekistan will not give anybody the report about Andizjan» we before anybody to report we do not gather»,
that does not remain doubts, that revision to mitigation, and without that ridiculous, sanctions of the European Union in
relation to Uzbekistan, are regarded by the tyrannical government as approval and support of existing policy of Uzbekistan.
For greater success it is necessary to put only a few strokes.
It would be naive to believe, that servility the Uzbek government, with promises of deliveries of gas, oil, gold or
uranium, before representatives of the German government would not be based on real hope.
In the end of year, under promises of the
Uzbek dictator, "democratic" presidential elections of the country should take place. It is not doubted, EU will send the
observers and recognizes legitimacy of the elections, in fact the grains thrown in a fertile field should give shoots. A habit
and to it similar perfectly understand, that necessity of replacement of the leader of the state at all do not mean change
of a regime. Well and let as the president will refer to Gulnara Karimova, Sadik Safaev or
Shavkat Mirzieev. As they say «lupus pilum mutat, non mentem » - « the wolf changes a skin, instead of a condition of mind».
It is important, that the responsibility for a bloody crime will be not incurred
by anybody, and in due course in the world will try to forget about tragedy in Andizjan.
Whether the Europe to what understands
can result similar «the project of new strategy of relations of EU with the Central Asia»?
What it is the new political-economical transaction? Or simple lobbying of the
European interests? And what should be expected relapse of a dictatorial mode in Uzbekistan? The question remains opened...
We address to you with expression of deep disappointment and
concern results of your visit to Uzbekistan in April, 2007 within the limits
of round across the Central Asia.
At common knowledge of the facts of mass infringements of
human rights in Uzbekistan, campaign of reprisals against the legal experts, independent journalists and representatives of
political opposition, and also mass severe murder of peace citizens in 2005 , you, at a meeting with president -the dictator
Islam Karimov and Minister for Foreign Affairs Vladimir Norov, mark Uzbekistan as equal partner and welcome mutually advantageous
cooperation.
Really the country where government troops brutally
suppressed a demonstration in the eastern Uzbek city of Andizjan in 2005, and Minister for Foreign Affairs in reply to requirements
of the world community about carrying out of the international investigation, openly declares what the government of Uzbekistan
«will not give anybody the report about Andizjan» is worthy to be the equal in rights partner of OSCE?
You, no doubt, understand, that the invitation to cooperation
calls into question and discredits priorities of OSCE, such as struggle for human rights and prevention of tortures. Not absolutely clearly, mission OSCE -to advance democracy or to adopt the state terrorism
which is expressed in intimidation of own population, its full suppression and
destruction of those who struggles with the tyrannical state.
The responsibility for the organization of a similar crime,
unfortunately, is not stipulated in is international the-legal legislation. But it should not, from our point of view, to
become an occasion of support of the mass terror developed by the Uzbek authorities after the Andizjan events.
The International women’s association “The Mothers
against violence ” urgently calls all representatives of the international community to not allow moderately the forces
that the government of Uzbekistan has
affirmed in impunity of the crimes.
The International women’s
association “ The Mothers against violence” wants EU sanctions against Uzbekistan to be extended -- because of the deteriorating human rights situation
there is no reason for the EU to ease sanctions.
