TASHKENT, Sept 28 (Reuters) - A fire caused by a powerful explosion at a warehouse near Tashkent's airport had been contained and the situation was under control, Uzbekistan's Ministry of Emergency Situations (FVV) said on Thursday. Video and photographs on social media showed flames soaring into the night sky and a huge cloud of smoke. The ministry said a "special laboratory" had been set up at the scene to investigate the explosion. Flights at Tashkent International Airport were taking off and landing as normal, its administration said. According to a post on social media from Uzbek media outlet Daryo, 16 fire and rescue crews were sent to fight the fire at one of the warehouses located in the city's Sergeli district near the airport.

☆ Uzbek leader wins referendum on extending powers
  + stars: | 2023-05-01 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
TASHKENT, May 1 (Reuters) - Uzbekistan has passed a package of constitutional amendments in a referendum, preliminary data showed on Monday, which will allow President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to run for two more seven-year terms when his current one ends in 2026. The reform, passed with 90.21% of Sunday's vote, resets Mirziyoyev's term count, while promising the Central Asian nation's citizens greater social and legal protections. Mirziyoyev, 65, has opened up the former Soviet republic's economy, greatly improved ties with the West, and curbed the powers of security services whose dominance had in previous decades turned the country of 35 million into a police state. Although Tashkent's Western partners are unlikely to approve of the extension of presidential powers, Uzbekistan risks little given the West is seeking support from ex-Soviet nations in its efforts to isolate Russia over its war in Ukraine.

☆ Uzbeks vote on allowing president to extend time in power

TASHKENT, April 30 (Reuters) - Uzbekistan votes on constitutional amendments on Sunday that promise its citizens greater social protection in exchange for resetting President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's term count to zero, which could allow him to stay in power until 2040. And while Tashkent's Western partners are unlikely to approve of the attempt to extend presidential powers, Uzbekistan risks little given the West is seeking support from all ex-Soviet nations in its efforts to isolate Russia. The reform also extends the presidential term to seven years from five, which could in theory allow Mirziyoyev to remain in charge of the country of 35 million people until 2040. At the same time, the package of amendments proclaims Uzbekistan a "social state" with increased welfare obligations and allows non-farming land ownership.
