Hot News 2005 April 20 U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe expressed concerns a forged document published in government newspapers
U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe expressed concerns over a forged document published by newspapers in Tajikistan, including two government newspapers Jumhuriyat (Government of the RT) and Sadoi Mardum (Parliament of the RT), taken from Russian Internet sites, supposedly revealing that the U.S. Ambassador, Stephen Young, had plotted to overthrow the government of President Akayev with the assistance of U.S. NGOs. “While we strongly support freedom of the press, such irresponsible “journalism” is not conducive to promoting regional stability and to building the strong bilateral U.S.-Tajikistan relations that both President Bush and President Rahmonov have called for,” emphasized in the U.S. Embassy press release, distributed on 20 April 2005. “We urge the Tajik authorities to take effective steps to disassociate the Tajik Government from the publication of this forgery.”
