Uzbekistan, hungry for foreign investment, will begin privatising many of its largest state companies next year, an official said on Wednesday. "From 1999, the government of Uzbekistan will begin selling off shares in companies involved in the basic sectors of the economy, and will do so with the participation of international consultants," a State Privatisation Committee official said. The cabinet had approved an order aimed at speeding up foreign investment through privatisation, he told Reuters. The former Soviet state..

A medical time bomb is ticking in Uzbekistan where the mental and physical health of an entire generation is under threat because of a lack of dietary iron. 14/01
Iron deficiency disorders like anaemia are rampant among Uzbeks with 80 per cent of women and 70 per cent of children under the age of 14 - about 10 million young people.
In one region, Karakalpakstan, doctors interviewed by IWPR say the entire female population is anaemic, resulting in a vicious cycle that sees the women pass the illness on to their children.

When Israel deported Gulnora for prostitution last month she came home to Samarkand by plane. Her journey to get there one year earlier was rather more complicated.
First Gulnora - not her real name - was taken by a pimp from Tashkent to Moscow, and then flown to Egypt. She and five others were handed over to a Bedouin, who took them on a long and dangerous ride to Israel by camel.
"Our journey lasted nine days, and we were lucky we didn't encounter Israeli border troops," she said, adding that some women..

Opposition parties in Uzbekistan say they will boycott a parliamentary election next month, citing official obstructions which have prevented them fielding candidates and predicting that the vote will be neither free nor fair.
The Birlik and Ozod Dehkonlar parties announced their decision after attempts to register candidates across the country failed.
A third party, Erk, which like Birlik was founded more than a decade ago in opposition to President Islam Karimov's administration, said it would boycott the..

The presidents of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, whose mutual animosity has been well documented in recent years, are striving to revive a functional relationship between their neighboring Central Asian states. However, efforts to implement measures adopted during a mid-November bilateral summit appear to already have hit snags.
Just two years ago, Turkmen-Uzbek relations were experiencing a deep chill, after Turkmen leader Saparmurat Niyazov accused Uzbekistan of aiding an assassination attempt against him. But at a..

Two men have died in detention in Uzbekistan in the last two weeks, leading to renewed allegations that torture is routine in the country's police stations and prisons.
The shooting and wounding of three other people - two of them women - raises further questions about the behaviour of law-enforcement officers.
Rahimjon Kuldashev's family, who live in the Kutarma area of Jizzakh region, never suspected that when he left home after being summoned to a police station on January 2, it would be the last time they saw..

Uzbek officials are advertising last month-s general election as a model of fair and open democracy. A huge majority turned out to vote for an all-new parliament, the authorities say, and once last week's run-offs were finished, the decade-long domination of one party had been upset by a newcomer.
There was only a limited contingent of foreign observers, many from other former Soviet states, so it is hard to verify figures issued by the Central Electoral Commission stating that more than 85 per cent of voters took part..

The appointment of a new Uzbek ambassador to Turkmenistan signals a thaw in relations between the neighbouring states, though many contentious issues remain.
Alisher Qodirov takes up his post in Ashgabat after a two-year diplomatic chill between the two countries, sparked by a November 2002 assassination attempt on Turkmen president Saparmurat Niyazov.
Niyazov, better known as Turkmenbashi, accused Uzbekistan of helping the assassins and promptly expelled the country-s ambassador. This prompted a deep freeze which..

Brothers Hayitbai and Arabai Almuratov have lived on the same plot of land now for many years. The land is owned by the family -- but one brother is on one side of a courtyard, and one is on the other side.
Now they cannot even approach each other, as soldiers have taken up residence on what was once their property, dividing one family member from the other. The two Uzbek brothers and their homes have not moved, the Turkmen-Uzbek border has -- right through the middle of their property.
Hayitbai, now a..

After 10 years in existence, Uzbekistan's parliament - which critics say does little more than rubberstamp decisions by President Islam Karimov - has closed its doors for the last time, to make way for the all-new legislature that will be elected on December 26.
Officials are playing up what they see as a major constitutional development from a single-chamber body to a modern bicameral institution.
But outside the ruling elite, many people interviewed by IWPR think that the change will make little difference, and..

With the stated intention of combating money laundering by local NGOs, the government of Uzbekistan is hobbling dozens of efforts by international organizations and foreign governments to stimulate civil society in the country. New regulations are making it difficult for foreign donors to assist small businesses, libraries, women's groups and other non-state entities in Uzbekistan.
In recent weeks, the Uzbek government rejected the Open Society Institute's registration and warned other foreign non-governmental..

Four of the..

Uzbekistan's corruption-ridden educational system is a source of widespread discontent among the country's youth. Steadily decreasing government funding has sharply reduced access to higher education. And many of those who can afford comparatively high tuitions complain about a lack of interesting career opportunities.
Increasingly, higher educational opportunities are available only to children of Uzbekistan's economic and political elite. Tuition ranges from $200-$800 for the academic year. While such a price tag..

As the recent visit of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov to Tashkent underscored, Uzbekistan is interested in boosting strategic cooperation with Russia. Even so, Uzbek leaders continue to view the United States as the country's key strategic partner. A US-funded training program for Uzbek non-commissioned officers illustrates the primary role played by the Pentagon in modernizing the country's military.
Uzbekistan is striving to streamline its 65,000-strong military, shedding its reliance on conscripts. By the..
