It seems he did not like the fact all of them were cut down. According to the website, his initial order was about making minor cutting-downs in the park in order to make the statue of Tamerlane visible from four angles. However, the city officials in charge, cut the whole park down instead. If the information is true, I have a question... How come, after being in power for about 20 years, the Uzbek president failed to establish an effective networking system that could guarantee the correct execution of his orders? How bad things should be in the country, if words of the President can be so easily misinterpreted/ deliberately misused?

We human beings love inertia and always resist the change. Older we get more we resist the change. I being an Expat living in Uzbekistan since last 17 years have witnessed the changes brought by the government because of clossal reconstruction. Uzbekistan Government is trying to put the country amongst the developed nations. Uzbekistan will always have history but progress it can achieve with some radical actions. Foreigners should concentrate more on stopping the US and European armies for killing the innocent people daily than making hue and cry for cutting trees in Tashkent.
