Give you the answer Czech President Milos Zeman’s to open letter international and media organizations, journalists, which was published on our website on Wednesday, February 12.
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for your open letter and I answer by the open letter too.
First of all, you’re wrong in the very first sentence of your open letter. Uzbek President Islam Karimov was invited by my predecessor and is a matter ofdiplomatic courtesy that the new president assumes obligations of its predecessor. I did not see you were protesting against the visit of Vaclav Klaus in Uzbekistan.
Second, President Islam Karimov recently held talks with senior officials of the European Union in Brussels. I did not think you were protesting against the visit.
Third, the United States evaluated Uzbekistan as an ally in the fight against Islamic terrorism. I did not think you protested against this American view protested.
I wish you more awareness and less hypocrisy.
Sincerely,
Miloš Zeman
