Uzbekistan

[Pop. 24,102,473 Muslim 88% Non-Arabic (Uzbeks, Russians, Tajiks)]

Dear Mr. President
The people of Uzbekistan is deeply indignant and shocked at brutal terrorist acts that have taken lives of thousands of innocent people.
We express our deep condolence to all American people, You, Mr. President, families of those who became the victims of horrible acts of terror. At this hard for Your country time, we are bending our heads before the memory of victims, and are firmly sure that American people as You have stated in Your address, "will go through this trial as well".
