I. BACKGROUND A. History 1. In December 1996, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved from its ordinary capital resources (OCR) a $50-million loan to Uzbekistan for relending to the National Bank for Foreign Economic Activity of the Republic of Uzbekistan (NBU) for onlending to viable private- sector and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in agroindustry. 2. NBU was formed in September 1991 as a wholly state-owned commercial bank to operate as the Government’s agent on international financial markets. Both according to its charter and its banking license obtained from the Central Bank of Uzbekistan (CBU), NBU is a universal commercial bank with a license to undertake foreign exchange transactions. NBU has four financial affiliates, all of which have complementary relationships with the bank. These comprise partial ownership in two joint-venture banks in Uzbekistan ie. ABN-AMRO (Uzbekistan)1 and UzDaewoo Bank,2 an investment in a domestic leasing company, and a subsidiary bank in Russia.3 NBU’s charter mandates that the bank must be at least 60% state- owned.

  • Tajik-Uzbek Relations –
    Tajik-Uzbek relations – development dynamics and prospects “Historical contradictions caused by the “Big Turkestan” project, unrealized in the 1920s, lie at the heart of today’s strained relations between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan”, wrote Parviz Mullojanov, a political analyst (Tajikistan, Dushanbe), in his article, written exclusively for cabar.asia. Follow us on LinkedIn! The relations between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are not so good today. Many observers and experts in this regard use the term “Cold War”, “Rail war”, “Transport blockade” and so on. At the same time, relations between Tajiks and Uzbeks at the household and interpersonal level are still quite far from mutual intolerance and rejection, which is not surprising. Tajiks and a significant part of Uzbeks trace their origin from the ancient Iranian-speaking population of Central Asia, and therefore, they have a lot of similarities in customs, traditions, culture, national psychology and character. Accordingly, many researchers are wondering why, despite the obvious historical closeness and the immediate neighborhood of both peoples, the relationship between the two countries remain difficult for such a long period of time? Some experts explain this phenomenon by complex relationships between the two countries’ Presidents – Islam Karimov and Emomali Rahmon. However, in fact, during the Soviet period, the relations between the neighboring republics were also quite difficult and complex. Does this mean that there are a number of other objective of long-term factors, which adversely affect the Tajik-Uzbek relations? And if so, how will the relations between the two countries develop in the next decade, especially in light of deepening social and economic crisis and geopolitical shifts in the region? In order to answer at least some of these questions, we should consider the dynamics of the relations between the two nations, since the period of the national territorial demarcation of Central Asia in the 1920s.

In accordance with the 1873 Russian Bukhara Treaty, the issue of increasing Russian infiltration into the Bukhara border areas was discussed. KEYWORDS: Chorjuy, New Bukhara (Kagan), Kerki and Termez-Patta-Kesarida, administrative, economic, cultural, military, industrial, merchants, usurers, merchants. INTRODUCTION Russian trade firms are increasingly moving to the khanate, selling their products freely, opening shops, and even settling down and becoming permanent residents. In addressing this important issue, Russia has developed plans to launch the Trans-Caspian-Chorjuy-Katta-Kurgan railway, strengthen water transport through the Amu Darya navy, and build the Bukhara-Termez railway in a short time. It should be noted that even though the lands inhabited by Russian and Russian-speaking people were at the expense of the Emirate of Bukhara, the immigrants did not pay land taxes to the emirate's treasury and did not obey the rules of the emirate. Although Articles 4, 8, 11 and 12 of the 1873 Russian-Bukhara agreement stipulate that a Russian citizen seeking to move to Bukhara must first obtain a special permit from a Bukhara judge and then be registered with a Russian political agency.

  • Der Flughafen Termez, Usbekistan
    Vogel und Luftverkehr, 25. Jg., Heft 1/2005 Seite 51-62 Der Flughafen des Auslandes: Der Flughafen Termez, Usbekistan Termez Airport, Uzbekistan von E. KÜSTERS, Traben-Trarbach Zusammenfassung: Seit einigen Jahren wird der Flugplatz Termez im Süden von Usbekistan von verschiedenen Nationen zur Versorgung der in Afghanistan eingesetzten ISAF-Truppen genutzt. Die dadurch stark gestiegene Zahl an Flugbewegungen hatte, da der Vogelschlagproblematik durch die örtlichen Betreiber zuvor offensichtlich keine Bedeutung beigemessen wurde und somit selbst grundlegende Maßnahmen nicht realisiert worden waren, eine Vielzahl von Vogelschlägen zur Folge. Aus diesem Grund wurde das Amt für Geoin- formationswesen der Bundeswehr im Jahre 2004 beauftragt, Untersuchungen zum Vogelaufkommen durchzuführen und Vorschläge für Maßnahmen zur Verringerung der Vogelschlaggefahr zu erarbeiten. Die Ergebnisse der vom Frühsommer 2004 bis zum Winter 2004/2005 durchge- führten Bestandsaufnahmen (angetroffene Vogelarten, Abschätzung der Indivi- duenzahlen der für den Flugbetrieb besonders gefährlichen Arten) sowie Vor- schläge zur Risikominderung werden hier vorgestellt. Summary: Several nations have been using the airport of Termez in southern Uzbekistan for the logistic support of their ISAF- troops stationed in Afghani- stan for some years now. By that the number of flights increased enormously compared with the times before and subsequently the number of birdstrikes rose dramatically since the Uzbek airport authorities obviously had not paid any attention to the birdstrike risk in former times. For this reason the Bundeswehr Geoinformation Office was ordered in 2004 to carry out investigations about the bird populations on and around the airport and to make suggestions on how to reduce the birdstrike risk. First results of the investigations carried out from early summer 2004 until winter 2004/2005 and some proposals to reduce the birdstrike risk are presented in this paper.

  • Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945
    Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 By Charles David Shaw A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor Professor Victoria E. Bonnell Summer 2015 Abstract Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 by Charles David Shaw Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair This dissertation addresses the impact of World War II on Uzbek society and contends that the war era should be seen as seen as equally transformative to the tumultuous 1920s and 1930s for Soviet Central Asia. It argues that via the processes of military service, labor mobilization, and the evacuation of Soviet elites and common citizens that Uzbeks joined the broader “Soviet people” or sovetskii narod and overcame the prejudices of being “formerly backward” in Marxist ideology. The dissertation argues that the army was a flexible institution that both catered to national cultural (including Islamic ritual) and linguistic difference but also offered avenues for assimilation to become Ivan-Uzbeks, part of a Russian-speaking, pan-Soviet community of victors. Yet as the war wound down the reemergence of tradition and violence against women made clear the limits of this integration. The dissertation contends that the war shaped the contours of Central Asian society that endured through 1991 and created the basis for thinking of the “Soviet people” as a nation in the 1950s and 1960s.
