Content UzbekistanA poll of Uzbek public opinion conducted on the eve of Constitution Day, reports Ferghana.ru, shows that an overwhelming majority of Uzbeks are content. The polling agency, unsurprisingly, is supported by the government of Uzbekistan and did not reveal its methodology. Here are some of the reported findings: · “Peace and stability, ethnic and civil harmony are the highest values obtained through independence for the absolute majority of the population or 94.3%.” · “Citizens of Uzbekistan are convinced that the Constitution answers the standards of democracy, social justice, tolerance, and national interests.” “92.8% of the respondents are firmly convinced that everyone in this country regardless of his or her well-being or social standing, faith, and ethnic origin is equal in the eyes of the law, that everyone’s rights and freedoms are equally observed.”
Ferghana.ru speculates that these results might actually be true, but that the poll was conducted in some other Uzbekistan where everything is wonderful
