Hello
Can you tell me, Should the ppl of Uzbekistan have a special permit to live and work in the Capital?
.......the mayor of Tashkent ordered city residents without official residence permits to be dismissed from their jobs and expelled from the Uzbek capital. Since the order took effect, thousands of people have been forced out of the capital, including hundreds of highly trained specialists, sources within the mayor’s office and the Tashkent police tell EurasiaNet.
So far, more than 3,700 people have been expelled under the order, according to Tashkent police and government sources. Roughly 1,300 people, including highly qualified physicians, zoologists, teachers, and specialists in other fields, are said to have lost their jobs because of the ruling. That number is expected to increase in the coming months. Though the city counts some 2.5 million registered residents, Tashkent’s actual population is believed to be upwards of 3.5 million people.
as I understood that:
....The propiska system is a holdover from the Soviet era. Residency permits were introduced by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin as a way to control labor migration, specifically to stem the rapid influx of peasants into cities. The system has long been assailed in the West as a human rights violation. On October 7, US Ambassador Larry Napper, the head of the American delegation to the OSCE Human Dimension Implementation Meeting in Warsaw, condemned the propiska system, saying it "can . . . lead to corruption and abuse."
