## Politics Jun 6 2005 11:38AM ### Russian minister seeks analysis of Andizhan riot MOSCOW. June 6 (Interfax) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said countries which have access to information about the activities of terrorists in Uzbekistan should assess the impact of the May riot in the eastern city of Andizhan. "There is information that allows us to assume that numerous extremist groups such as Hizb-ut-Tahrir, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, Taliban and Chechen terrorists played a role in organizing those events. This information has come from a variety of sources and we are now verifying it," Lavrov said in an interview with Russia's Vremya Novostie newspaper published on Monday. "We want states which, like Russia, have an opportunity to receive this information to compare their data and try to assess the gravity [of the Andizhan events]. And I would like to say to journalists who are speaking about this information as something sensational that they have forgotten that we have mentioned it more than once," the minister said.
