Statement: The Congress of Democratic Uzbekistan
Independent of Any Individuals or Groups, Governments

Press-Center of The Congress of Democratic Uzbekistan

In the last days, claims that certain Uzbek opposition
groups are funded by the wealthy family of Maqsudi,
Uzbek-Afghan-American, former son-in-law and currently
opponent of President Karimov, have been actively
circulated. In this regard, there have been also
attempts to link The Congress of Democratic
Uzbekistan.

Working Board of the The Congress of Democratic
Uzbekistan states that as organization it has not been
in any relations with the Maqsudi family, and
particularly financially it has been totally
independent of this family and any other individuals,
groups or governments.

Some individuals, or some groups may have been in
contact with the Maqsudi family. However, such
relations are their internal matter and The Congress
of Democratic Uzbekistan as group has no connections
to these contacts - even if some of these individuals
appear to be members of The Congress of Democratic
Uzbekistan. Such relations are personal and private
contacts of these individuals.

Based on its major slogan, The Congress of Democratic
Uzbekistan confirms again its intention to cooperate
with all individuals and groups, who are for democracy
and against dictatorship.
