President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev participated in the ceremonial events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Second World War on May 9 at the invitation of President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. A Victory Parade took place in Red Square. Leaders such as Chinese President Xi Jinping, Brazilian President Lula da Silva, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Belarusian Alexander Lukashenko, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Kyrgyz President Sadir Japarov, Tajik President Emomali Rahmon, Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, and others also attended the event. A group of Uzbek soldiers also marched in the parade. “The victory in the Second World War is the result of the courage, bravery, and dedication of millions of people. The multi-ethnic people of Uzbekistan also made a significant contribution to this great cause. At the beginning of the war, the population of our republic was over 6 million. During the war years, nearly two million Uzbeks were sent to the front. More than 538,000 people perished on the battlefields, and over 158,000 went missing. For their bravery and courage, more than 214,000 soldiers and officers from Uzbekistan were awarded military orders and medals. 301 of our compatriots were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, and another 70 became holders of all degrees of the "Shuhrat" order. The Uzbek people also showed tremendous courage in labor. Our country became a reliable base for the front: food, clothing, medicine, weapons, and other necessary resources were continuously sent from here. In a short period, more than 170 evacuated enterprises were relocated to Uzbekistan, ensuring the uninterrupted operation of the defense industry. During those difficult years, the people of Uzbekistan demonstrated a high example of humanity, accepting more than 1.5 million people evacuated from the frontline areas, including over 250,000 orphaned children,” said the press service of the President of Uzbekistan. The bravery of the Uzbek people during the war years is widely recognized in the international community. In our country, special attention is paid to immortalizing the memory of participants in the war and labor fronts and providing social support to veterans. A magnificent "Victory Park" memorial complex has been built in Tashkent. At the end of the Victory Parade, President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev, together with President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and other heads of state, laid a wreath at the Unknown Soldier's grave in Alexander Garden. This memorial is dedicated to the memory of millions of fighters who showed unparalleled courage and sacrificed their lives for victory, including the children of Uzbekistan. The ceremony concluded with a minute of silence and the ceremonial march of the honor guard and military band.

9 May: The Long-standing Conflict Between Memory, History, and Ideology
9 May: The Long-standing Conflict Between Memory, History, and Ideology
It has been 80 years since the end of World War II and more than 34 years since the collapse of the USSR. However, even today, debates and controversies about May 9 continue. Discussions surrounding this date intensify every year, especially on the eve of Victory Day, turning into a deep clash between national identity and attitudes towards Soviet ideology. Uzbekistan is one of the countries that has changed its stance After gaining independence, the Uzbek government reconsidered the date of May 9, enriching its essence with a new meaning based on national spirit and memory. Expressions and symbols like "Great Patriotic War" and "Great Victory" were abandoned, and this day was renamed as the Day of Memory and Honor. This change created a significant difference not just in name but also in essence. Now this day is dedicated to commemorating the nearly half a million compatriots who fell victim, recalling the hardships behind the front lines, and valuing peace. In other words, it is not a celebration but a ceremony. Political scientist Tolipov: “This date seems to serve Russia's strategy” Renowned political scientist Farhod Tolipov stated that this date has multiple interpretations. According to him, over the years, May 9 has increasingly become a holiday that serves Russia's geopolitical strategic interests. “During the Soviet era, this date was a day to celebrate victory, but it has always been a source of conflicting views. Firstly, the reason for choosing May 9 is questionable. Secondly, this day seems to lose its meaning year by year, appearing to be more significant primarily for Russians. No country in the world now wishes to celebrate this holiday more than the Russians,” said the political scientist. Society researcher Yo‘ldoshev: “This is not a holiday, but a memorial ceremony” Ethnopsychologist and sociologist Mahmud Yo‘ldoshev also expressed his views on the debates surrounding May 9. According to him, this date should be recognized not as an official holiday but as a day of national memory and mourning. “Just like any mourning ceremony, this is equivalent. There were times when 'Katyusha' was celebrated. This is a sign that the Soviet ideology has not completely left the people's consciousness. For true historical understanding, we should not celebrate the war of the empire that has invaded us as our own,” he stated. Tashanov: “Soviet and Nazism — two repressive regimes. We were victims of one of them” Human rights activist Abdurahmon Tashanov believes that the war took place between two authoritarian, repressive systems. The Soviets invaded the peoples of Central Asia, destroyed the intellectual class, and severely repressed citizens. “For a society that has not yet freed itself from Soviet ideology, May 9 is not a holiday. Why are those under 35 accepting this date as a holiday? This means that ideological influence still persists. We see our compatriots working in Russia, being looked down upon. To free ourselves from this, we need a firm national policy, education, and will,” said Tashanov. Historian Mahmudov: “We were not voluntarily involved in the war, but forced” Historian Zavqibek Mahmudov considers accepting this date as a holiday a sign of being a mankurt. According to him, a people voluntarily going to war can celebrate it as a victory. However, in a regime that threatens death for fleeing and death for returning, there is no place for such a holiday. “To celebrate May 9, we should have been a truly free people. We were not asked about the war — we were forced. Therefore, this date can only be a day of mourning memory, not a victory day,” he stated. The editorial team of Zamin.uz believes that May 9 should be personally understood, accepted, and felt by each individual. This date requires a deep reflection on truth, memory, and spiritual freedom. True value lies in peace. And to understand its worth, we must learn from history.

German ambassador: "Germany only needs qualified specialists, not illegal immigrants"
German ambassador: "Germany only needs qualified specialists, not illegal immigrants"
Friedrich Merz has been elected as Germany's new chancellor. Due to his XDI/XSI bloc not receiving an absolute majority in the snap elections, he decided to form a coalition government with Olaf Scholz's party. The German ambassador to Uzbekistan held a press conference on the occasion of the new government's commencement. Friedrich Merz has not previously worked in the German government, but he is taking power during a complex period in US-European relations, with strategic steps being taken regarding the Ukraine war, and a crisis situation continuing within Germany. Merz's bloc received a relatively high number of votes in the last election, but not an absolute majority. Therefore, an agreement was reached on forming a coalition on Monday. According to Germany's ambassador to Uzbekistan, Manfred Huterer, the coalition agreement was accepted before the government began its work. Friedrich Merz is trying to form a government quickly, stating that the outside world should not wait. The ambassador added that the agreements reached with Central Asian countries will remain in place, and the state of dialogue will not change. “Friedrich Merz's party decided to form a coalition with Scholz's SPD, and both sides signed the coalition document at the beginning of the week. This means that the previous party will also be in power, ensuring continuity in Germany's internal and foreign policy. Merz is active in foreign policy; he will travel to Paris the day after being elected, and then to Poland,” said Germany's ambassador to Uzbekistan, Manfred Huterer. Before the snap elections, Merz and his bloc called for strengthening the border and implementing a stricter migration policy. Additionally, Scholz's government faced serious criticism due to the increase in illegal immigrants. However, the new government will not completely close Germany's doors to migrants; only skilled specialists arriving through legal channels will be accepted. They must also know the German language. “In the debates before the elections, everyone expressed the same opinion – everyone is completely against illegal migration. It is true that Germany needs immigrants, but we need skilled specialists. For example, we need 300,000 in the healthcare sector and 80,000 heavy truck drivers. We have never been against legal migration,” said Germany's ambassador to Uzbekistan, Manfred Huterer. Germany views Uzbekistan as one of the main countries supplying raw materials, just like France, meaning Berlin wants to diversify the market supplying raw materials. According to the ambassador, over the past years, Germany has allocated more than 700 million dollars to Uzbekistan, of which 300 million dollars are loans spent on political projects in the country. Now, various German funds are planning to provide funding for responsible government management and the construction of sustainable cities. As of today, the mutual trade turnover between Germany and Uzbekistan has approached 1 billion euros, the ambassador stated. Additionally, Berlin wants Uzbekistan to have a strong defense capability. The world has recently been under pressure from half powers, including Germany. Berlin supports the idea that not only giant states but also medium and small states should have a place on the world stage, said Manfred Huterer in his speech. He added that the Ukraine war must end, but taking into account Ukraine's interests. Currently, there is an agreement to cease fire, but this should not be done in a way that undermines Kyiv's interests, the ambassador stated. The ambassador also announced that a phone conversation between Friedrich Merz and Donald Trump is expected in the coming days.

Today, we express our special congratulations and gratitude to the esteemed veterans of war and labor who actively participate in the establishment of the New Uzbekistan with their golden prayers and advice. Undoubtedly, on this radiant holiday, which honors the guardians of peaceful and prosperous life, it is both a debt and a duty for all of us to pay respect to the memory of our brave soldiers who heroically perished in the struggle to protect the freedom of our homeland and the tranquility of our people during the years of independence,” the congratulatory speech states. It is noted that nearly 2 million of the 6 million 800 thousand people who participated in the bloody battles against fascism were involved. Of these, nearly 540 thousand perished, 158 thousand went missing, more than 50 thousand died due to unprecedented torture and suffering in concentration camps, and over 60 thousand returned disabled. Among the soldiers and officers from Uzbekistan, nearly 214 thousand were awarded combat orders and medals, 301 were honored with the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union, and more than 70 received the “Glory” order of all three degrees. During the war years, the country became a strong supply base for the front, and a large amount of military equipment, weapons, medicines, clothing, food, and other essential products were delivered from our republic to the battlefields, marking another unforgettable page of that turbulent period. More than 170 factories and plants were relocated to Uzbekistan from the areas left in the fire of war, and 280 new enterprises were established in a short time. The people embraced nearly 1 million 500 thousand individuals brought from war zones under extremely difficult and complex conditions, including 250 thousand orphans who lost their parents, showing them love and compassion.

The Cybersecurity Center of the Investigation and Search Department under the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that a fraudster who introduced himself as Muhammad and deprived thousands of citizens of their funds was caught in Tashkent city. According to official information, this young man living in Namangan region approached people with the promise of "I will multiply your money several times in a short time." He convinced hundreds, specifically more than a thousand people through social networks and embezzled a large amount of money from them. This individual, who convinced others that he had completed trader courses, used officially registered SIM cards and bank cards in the names of citizens living in various regions to cover his tracks. Thus, he disguised his identity and continued to find new victims by convincing people online with the money he had obtained. Among those who fell into the fraudster's hands was a person residing in Navoi region. Believing the claims of "I work on order," he personally handed over 7 million soums. Shortly after, realizing he had been deceived, he immediately contacted law enforcement agencies.

A new era in defining disability: systemic reforms without corruption and fundamental changes in community health care are beginning
A new system aimed at improving the registration of disabilities and access to medical services for the population is being implemented in Uzbekistan. According to the state leader, from now on, the medical advisory commissions (MAC) – a procedure that has been associated with corruption for years – will be completely abolished. Instead of this system, disability will be determined only by the medical-social expertise commission, based solely on documents issued by the family doctor. This change will be fully implemented in Tashkent city and Navoi region starting from June 1, 2024, and from September 1, it will be implemented throughout the country. At the same time, a "community-based medical service" system will be established to identify diseases early and reduce complications. Within this framework, for example, cardiology, endocrinology, maternal and child centers, and central hospital doctors will be assigned to clinics and neighborhoods in the Ishtikhan district of Samarkand region. They will conduct direct medical examinations among the population, teach early disease detection in collaboration with family doctors, and introduce modern diagnostic and treatment methods in polyclinics. Professors and teachers from Samarkand Medical University, as well as graduate students, will also be involved in this process. They will carry out their practical training in these neighborhoods and conduct their research specifically in these areas. If the results are high by the end of the year, doctors and specialists assigned to this project will receive a reward equal to twice their monthly salary. The president instructed that this system should be gradually implemented in at least one district in each of the Ishtikhan district, Samarkand city, Bulungur district, and other regions this year, fully in Samarkand region by 2025, and throughout the country by 2027. The Ministry of Health plans to train 4,700 family doctors and nurses based on the "Family Health" program in 15 districts together with medical universities by the end of the year and to prepare the heads of medical institutions for management. To fully implement the new system on the ground, 285 billion soums will be allocated from the state budget, and an additional 10 billion soums will be allocated by regional administrations. These reforms aim to significantly improve the quality of medical services in the community and create opportunities for accessible medical care for the population. The goal is a healthy generation, a fair system, and transparent medical services
