Controversy over history Why are people in Tashkent offended by the Iranians? US Secretary General Rubio's visit to Samarkand was not without provocative statements. At first, the head of American diplomacy was concerned about the status of the Russian language in the country, and now sparks were flying between Tashkent and Tehran. The Uzbek Foreign Ministry protested against the backdrop of publications by the Iranian embassies (especially in Armenia), which responded to Rubio's visit by reminding them that Samarkand belongs to the Persian heritage. In Tashkent they called it the politicization of history. The Uzbek authorities called on the Iranians to remove the posts, stressing that Bukhara, Khiva and Samarkand belong to the country's centuries-old tradition. At the same time, it is hard to say that the Iranians made a mistake somewhere: the mentioned lands actually developed within the framework of the former Persian states. Well, the current jealousy in history is actually a product of the political situation today. And who in this case uses the events of recent days to solve contemporary problems is a controversial matter. However, this is unlikely to have a serious impact on bilateral relations. Asia - for the price of freedom to Central Asia, support us.
