On May 12 ?13, 2005 the several groups of the armed persons carried out the number of terrorist acts in the city of Andijan, which have resulted in the death of 187 people.

From amongst them there were 60 civilians, and 31 law enforcement personnel and military servicemen. And, 287 people have suffered bodily injuries, including 91 civilians, 49 law enforcement personnel, and 59 military servicemen. The criminals have taken hostage in all 70 people, and 15 from amongst them were brutally killed by them.

Immediately after the tragic events in Andijan, the government of Uzbekistan has declared about its commitment to undertake the transparent and objective investigation of them. The independent parliamentary commission and international task force on monitoring the investigation from amongst the diplomatic corps, accredited in Tashkent, have been established.

Despite the invitation on the part of Uzbekistan, the western countries rejected to participate in the work of international monitoring group.

Since September 20, 2005 the court has been openly hearing the case of those 15, who have actively engaged in the terrorist acts in the city of Andijan. The representatives of the diplomatic corps and international organizations, including the UN, OSCE/ODIHR, UNHCR, and SCO are observing the court proceedings and they have the free access to the courtroom.

The outcomes of the investigation and ongoing court hearings witness that the terrorist acts are revealed to have thoroughly been planned and organized on the part of outside destructive forces, aimed at changing the constitutional regime in Uzbekistan. The initiating of the sham \"peaceful\" demonstrations of population has come as a part of the given act.

The unleashing of the broad information and propaganda activity against Uzbekistan with involving to it of the international human rights organizations became as one of the general strategy elements of perpetrators of the terrorist acts.

The arrival in Andijan Province, yet prior to beginning of events, of the representatives of foreign human rights organizations, mass media, and foreign charity groups aiming to ensure \"the active coverage of the revolt in Andijan\", may serve as a witness to that.

The hasty dissemination of the unconfirmed information, with no consideration of official position of Uzbekistan, has led to groundless appeals with regard to holding the international inquiry into the events.

Such calls are viewed by Uzbek side as a method of further increasing the international pressure upon the Republic and interference with internal affairs of the sovereign country.

In this context, it should be underscored, that the armed assault, the premeditated murder, and hostage taking are most heinous crimes in any state of the world and severely punished by law. The investigation of such kind of crimes is held in keeping with criminal legislation and by competent national bodies.

The Andijan events are exclusively internal affair of the sovereign Uzbekistan, which do not pose any threat to regional and international peace and security.

The acts on the part of the Government of Uzbekistan correspond the current international ? legal norms, and in particular, the UN Charter.

The perpetrators of the terrorist acts in Andijan, in line with earlier prepared plan, have allowed for the leave of active participants of the events, their kith and kin onto the neighboring with Uzbekistan territory of Kyrgyzstan.

The bulk of civilians, who have crossed the border, had left Andijan under lies and compulsion. They have found themselves under constant psychological pressure on the part of criminals, alongside being intimidated with repression, should they decide to return to their Homeland.

There were violations of international humanitarian law norms; while the issue of so called ?refugees? was solved. In particular, ?humanitarian evacuation? of 439 Uzbek citizens to Romania was done without explanation of the reasons and conditions. The sound argumentation for applying a norm prima facie basis or non-refoulment principle towards Uzbek citizens was not provided.

Despite Uzbekistan has provided undeniable materials concerning the connection of 15 Uzbek citizens to the terrorist attacks in Andijan, which were kept in Osh?s prison, 11 of them were evacuated in contravention of the international law norms. Besides Uzbekistan was claiming for returning only those who had took an immediate part in commitment of terrorist attacks in Andijan.

Existing situation had made it much more difficult for Kyrgyzstan to carry out the its commitments within the framework of UN Charter, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, The 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs) ? 1269 (1999) and ? 1373 (2001).

It is worth to stress that recently adopted UNSCR ? 1624 (2005) once more again foresees the prevention of abuse of refugee status by the terrorists.

Uzbek citizens moved to Kyrgyzstan had not been needed any international protection. Actions taken concerning them had led to over-politicization of human rights situation in Uzbekistan with later discussing it in the framework of the European Union, the UN and its Human rights agencies.
