The Parliament of Uzbekistan has extended the period of national discussion of the draft law, which plans to amend the Constitution.

The Parliament of Uzbekistan will not remove the sovereign status of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. The corresponding decision was made against the backdrop of the protests that erupted in Karakalpakstan at the end of last week, according to local publication Podrobno.uz on Monday, July 4.

Representatives stated that, taking into account the opinions and suggestions of the population of Karakalpakstan, articles 70, 71, 72, 74 and 75 of the constitution will not be changed, and the current standards will be preserved. They suggest that Karakalpakstan has sovereign status within Uzbekistan, its own constitution, and may withdraw from Uzbekistan based on a referendum decision.

It was also learned that the Parliament of Uzbekistan has extended the period of national discussion of the draft law, which plans to amend the Constitution, until July 15.

This decision was made in connection with “an increase in the activity of citizens in expressing opinions on the draft constitutional law and an increase in the number of proposals received.”

In turn, the Office of the Prosecutor General of Uzbekistan reported the deaths of 18 people during the riots in the city of Nukus, the capital of Karakalpakstan. 243 people were injured, 94 of them hospitalized.

It will be recalled that on July 1, mass protests began in Karakalpakstan due to the intention of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to amend the country’s Constitution, associated with the abolition of the republic’s sovereignty.

In response, Shavkat Mirziyoyev introduced, by his command, a state of emergency in the territory of Karakalpakstan until August 2.


The Republic of Karakalpakstan is the largest region of Uzbekistan, covering 40% of the country’s territory, but its population is slightly more than 5% of the state’s total population. Two official languages ​​are recognized in the republic: Karakalpak and Uzbek. In 1990, the Supreme Council of the Karakalpak ASSR adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty. But in 1993, an inter -state agreement was signed on Karakalpakstan’s entry into Uzbekistan.
