Below is Jamestown's Press-release:
The Jamestown Foundation has released a new Occasional Paper titled
"Reassessing Andijan: The Road to Restoring U.S.-Uzbek Relations." The
paper is authored by AbduMannob Polat, former Director of the Central
Asian Human Rights Information Network of the U.S. NGO Union of
Councils, ex-chairman of the Human Rights Society of Uzbekistan and
former member of the Birlik political party. The paper chronicles the
events before and after the May 2005 tragedy in Andijan, unearthing
new facts about the uprising and how the United States made a hasty
decision to distance itself from an important geostrategic partner,
basing its decision upon unclear facts and information surrounding the
event that have resulted in the loss of an important ally of the U.S.
in Eurasia.
With an uncanny and unusual level of objectivity and diligence, Polat
examines the United States' immediate reaction to Uzbekistan's
handling of the tragedy in Andijan, calling into question the
responses of both U.S. policymakers and the Western media who were
quick to mislabel the events there. The rapid condemnation of the
Uzbek government ultimately led to a souring in relations when no
independent analysis had been conducted by outside independent
observers. Being both a human rights activist and a victim of human
rights violations, Polat brings seldom discussed facts and positions
to light in his paper, and calls for a reexamination of U.S.-Uzbek
relations and the adoption of a new creative approach to dealing with
a strategically important country in Central Asia.
