Dear All,
\nIt is with deep concern that I am writing to the government of Uzbekistan and the international community in order to seek an urgent joint action to cease the ongoing destruction of our historic Samarkand.<\/p>\n

Touristes in Samarkand<\/p><\/div>\n

The old town of Samarkand is under national and international protection. There, one can walk through every period of regional history: start at the ruins of the ancient Afrasiab, proceed to the Timurid part and walk into the 19thc. architecture and the Soviet constructions. For its \u201coutstanding universal value\u201d, UNESCO has included \u201cSamarkand \u2013 the Crossroads of Cultures\u201d in the World Heritage List. National legislation likewise recognizes the old town as a \u201cmuseum-reserve\u201d under protection. There is also evidence of a political will to protect heritage: new legislation, official statements and appointments.<\/p>\n
