Doctors say Uzbekistani President Islam Karimov continues to be in a critical state. The following information was released by the official website of the Council of Ministers. Karimov was diagnosed with brain hemorrhage and has been hospitalized starting from August 27. The change of Karimov’s state for the worse has been actively discussed both in Uzbekistani media and across the world.
Parallels are being brought between Karimov’s state and that of Azerbaijani former president Heydar Aliyev, whose death was being concealed for a long time.
Islam Karimov’s death may be a turning point not only for domestic political life, but also for relationships between Central Asian countries.
