By  Trend

The delegation of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR), headed by Chairman Vladimir Zhirinovsky, visited Bukhara (Uzbekistan), where the chairman and members of the party met with representatives of the Uzbek parliament, local residents, and visited the historical sights of the ancient city, Uzbek media reported.

“We are pleased that the head of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, is such an energetic and competent leader. His work on this high position deserves respect,” Zhirinovsky said.

He noted that in order to improve the well-being of the citizens of Uzbekistan, it is necessary to develop the private sector and create conditions for people to choose a trade they love.

According to him, it is also necessary to restore the state industry, to re-launch the stopped plants.

The Russian politician assigns the key role to the Russian language for all of the aforementioned.

“We all grew up in this common culture, we remember the films that were shot at the Tashkent film studio, we were happy to watch them in Russia. You need to keep your historical names.Why take the western word ‘governor’, if you can say ‘amir’, for example. The streets in the cities of Uzbekistan should be called by the names of the people who lived here and glorified the country. This is necessary in order not to forget the history. We also support this direction in Russia,” Zhirinovsky said.

He also added that Russia needs to strengthen cooperation with Central Asia in the field of tourism, since such cooperation will be beneficial for all.
