Karimov’s statement may adversely affect the situation of Uzbek migrants
On June 21, during his trip to the Jizzak region of Uzbekistan, president Islam Karimov called Uzbek migrant workers, working in Russia, “lazy people”, and the fact of their presence in the labor migration was “disgusting and humiliating for the Uzbek people”.
Karimov, who said “no one in Uzbekistan is dying of hunger,” also added that “those, who went to Russia to earn money fast, are lazy, because they want to earn a lot of money quickly.”
