A new source of information about our country’s life, including domestic and foreign policy, human rights and its violations, national security, history, economy, etc. was founded by immigrants living abroad in order to bring news for the international community about Uzbekistan in more or less objective way. First post was posted on the 21st of March with congratulations to the people of Uzbekistan with national holiday Navruz.

Site starts with post on rich history of Uzbekistan, its location, historical events and developments within various dynasties starting from Alexander the Great and finishing with pre-Soviet era along with Soviet period and the period of Karimov’s rule as an introduction to the following articles about current situation in Uzbekistan.

Editors of the site tried to explain the definition of “Birdamlik” which could be considered as Polish “Solidarność” in order to somehow compare that Polish people movement with “Birdamlik” movement of immigrants and political refugees from Uzbekistan.

In brief, Birdamlik.org is again calling international community and, first of all, people of Uzbekistan to take more active participation in building democratic society in our country by any democratic means.

Professional journalists and activists are posting their thoughts and analysis of the policymaking process in the country and informing visitors last actual news in Uzbekistan. Another particularity is that “Birdamlik” site is making blog survey and posting hot issues. One of them is our post “Uzbek State Statistics Committee informs about the decrease of cotton production” from our blog at http://uzbekistan.neweurasia.net/2008/04/07/state-statistics-committee-informs-about-the-decrease-of-cotton-production/, that is actually a good news for us to cooperate with “Birdamlik” in the sphere of sharing information and ideas regarding making life of ordinary people in Uzbekistan easier.

As I could check this site is already banned by internet providers in Uzbekistan. Thus, another newly born initiative was closed for the people of Uzbekistan to cover the problems in the country. Very sad but understandable step by Uzbek government led by everybody-loved-long-term president.
