te Department initiated the meetings and talks with local reporters from about
10 states in the country who served in the local large newspapers, magazines and
television studios. During the conversations most of our American counterparts
admitted that they had lacked sufficient information about Uzbekistan(3).
What was the reason for such situation though? Since, by then despite that
Uzbekistan had traversed almost 10 years of its path of Independence, there were
few news and information about the life in our country disseminated in the world
media space. The news services established at some ministries and agencies, state
bodies and companies, and later – as a part of Uzbekistan embassies abroad didn’t
operate well in line with world standards.
Unfortunately, by now such situation (10-15 years have passed since then)
did not relatively change for better.
It should be specially underscored that Uzbekistan’s socio-political life,
particularly, the elections and the processes related to them are well covered by
foreign mass media. For instance, a large attention was paid in the world media
space to the presidential elections held on March 29, 2015. In this regard, the
Information Agency “Jahon” at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of
Uzbekistan gave a number of announcements and news stories.
The Japan-based “Nippon-Evrasia” newspaper published the story headlined
as “Uzbekistan – On the Path of Consistent Democratic Development” in which it
had offered a comprehensive analysis of social and political gains achieved during
the years of independent progress of Uzbekistan.
At the same time, the Japanese newspaper informed its audiences that
Uzbekistan had paid a special attention to holding elections – the most important
institution of democracy and form of expression of people’s will. “The elections in
Uzbekistan are conducted in correspondence with national legislation requirements
and standards of international law, in the condition of openness and transparency,
in general, alternative and equal basis with voters enjoying the right of direct
voting through secret ballot. The interference of bodies of state power in the
election process shall not be allowed. The effective normative and legal basis of
elections was created in the country, the “Nippon-Evrasia” newspaper further
wrote.
The topic of elections in Uzbekistan was actively covered in the Chinese
print media, as well. In particular, one of the respected newspapers in this country
– “Jinmin Jibao” placed a story in its pages headlined as “Islam Karimov collected
more than 90 percent of vote in the presidential elections”. According to the
newspaper, in line with preliminary results, 90,39 percent of voters cast their votes
