	::: FULL TEXT OF EP RESOLUTION ON TURKMENISTAN, INCLUDING CENTRAL ASIA :::
		Calls on the government of Turkmenistan to implement all the recommendations contained in the resolution adopted in April 2003 at the 59th session of the UN Commission on Human Rights, as well as the recommendations made by the OSCE-appointed rapporteur Professor Emmanuel Decaux in his March 2003 report;
		whereas Turkmenistan has consistently ignored its obligations under the major human rights treaties it is a party to, and has systematically failed to implement the recommendations contained in the March 2003 report by the OSCE's Special Rapporteur on Turkmenistan and the April 2003 resolution of the UN Commission on Human Rights,
		- having regard to the partnership and cooperation agreement between the EU and Turkmenistan, signed in May 1998, which is not yet in force, and the partnership and cooperation agreements with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, which include a human rights clause,

	Interview with UN Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights Bertie Ramcharan
		The issue of human rights remains a major concern among the five former Soviet republics of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan, with rights groups arguing that the issue had been sidelined as a result of the 11 September events.
		The implementation of recommendations of the different treaty bodies - which cover everything from civil and political freedoms to the right to food and shelter - is extremely important, because this is an objective measure of how seriously countries take their international human-rights commitments.
		I support calls to review, either through appeal or through new trials with full respect of the rights of defence and with the presence of judicial observers, of the trials that followed the 25 November coup, which have been challenged by human-rights organisations on the grounds of lack of fairness.

		DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS Daschle, whose six-day visit to ex-Soviet Central Asia also included Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan and Afghanistan, said his talks with President Islam Karimov and Foreign Minister Abdulaziz Kamilov had focused on human rights and democratic reform.
		Such commitments by the U.S., France, and Japan helped sway Tajikistan's president, Imomali Rahmonov, into making his country's military airfields available to the countries of the antiterrorist coalition.
		One result of this evolution is the 980-mile pipeline from Kazakhstan's Caspian Sea oil fields across Kazakh and Russian territory to the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, which opened late last year.

		Tajikistan may well establish an independent national human rights organization with the backing of the OSCE and United Nations.
		Like Kazakhstan, Tajikistan seems to be focusing very closely on improving the quality of life in the country in terms of health and economic wellbeing, but ignoring or backpedaling on other types of reform such as opening up the political system.
		Not to be too cynical, but it seems that Tajikistan seems to be moving in two opposite directions at once – reform and repression – but the reforms have been largely soft (creation of plans, organizations and the like), and the backsliding all too real.

	Tajikistan - Foreign Relations
		Tajikistan's relations with Afghanistan, the country with which it shares its long southern border, have been affected not only by the cultural and ethnic links between inhabitants of the countries but also by the way the Soviet regime tried to use those links to ensure the survival of a communist government in Kabul after 1979.

		They add that the timing of the military’s action appeared designed to limit the ability of human rights groups and journalist organizations to mount protests against the forced conscriptions.
		Military officials in Tajikistan have forcibly conscripted three journalists into the army following the trio’s involvement in the production of a television program that detailed the use of "press-gangs" to fulfill draft quotas.
		Media rights advocates contend that Khujand military officials have no right to conscript the trio, who are all originally from the Sughd region, outside the city’s jurisdiction.

		There is a significant inconsistency in the decision to exclude Belarus while favoring the autocratic states of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan -- the countries omitted from the original administration list -- said Human Rights Watch's Malinowski.
		For example, at the start of 1992, when Russia and the Atlantic countries were waiting for events to unfold in Tajikistan, Rahmon Nabiyev, the former president of Tajikistan, decided to accelerate the "resolution" of the country's indeterminate international status and arranged a visit to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
		However, only during meetings between the Tajik and Russian presidents at the CIS 10th-anniversary summit in Moscow was it stated in earnest that Russian specialists are due to arrive in Tajikistan shortly to resolve our country's energy problems.

	::: US CONGRESS MEMBERS BLAST FIVE TYRANNIES SUPPORTED BY BUSH JUNTA :::
		The 5 Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are members of the United Nations and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, both of which confer a range of human rights obligations on their members.
		According to the Department of State, Turkmenistan is a Soviet-style one-party state centered around the glorification of its President, which engages in serious human rights abuses, including arbitrary arrest and detention, severe restrictions of personal privacy, repression of political opposition, and restrictions on freedom of speech and nongovernmental activity.
		By continuing to suppress human rights and to deny citizens peaceful, democratic means of expressing their convictions, the nations of Central Asia risk fueling popular support for violent and extremist movements, thus undermining the goals of the 'war on terrorism'.
