## Politics Jun 30 2005 6:16PM ### Kazakh president defends Uzbek govt actions during riots ASTANA. June 30 (Interfax) - Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev on Thursday stood up for the Uzbek authorities' violent suppression of riots in Andizhan in May, saying that "terrorism and murder" must not be lumped together with "human rights and freedoms" and that the crisis was "an internal matter" of Uzbekistan anyway. Nazarbayev was referring to a crisis that began with a group overrunning a military base in the Uzbek city of Andizhan early on May 13 and getting hold of 305 pieces of firearms, including 205 assault rifles. After that, the rioters released 600 inmates from a local prison and took about 50 hostages. |
