Uzbekistan Independence Day 2023

Google Dooles 01.09.2023 06:45  Date: September 1, 2023 Today’s annual Doodle celebrates Uzbekistan Independence Day, or Mustaqillik Kuni! On this day in 1991, Uzbekistan declared independence from the USSR and became a sovereign nation. Following the August Coup in Moscow, President Islam Karimov of the former Uzbek SSR declared Uzbekistan an independent country. The Supreme Soviet of Uzbekistan accepted this resolution, and the following day was recognized as a national holiday. On Independence Day, citizens gather in each of Uzbekistan’s 12 regions and attend concerts, parades, firework shows, and speeches to honor the country’s progress and prosperity. The biggest celebration occurs at Mustaqillik Maydoni in the capital city of Tashkent. And of course, no holiday celebrations would be complete without plov, a popular rice dish topped with mutton, onions, and grated carrots. Happy Independence Day, Uzbekistan! Location: Tags:
