The Uzbek MP called on the countries of Central Asia to introduce a visa regime with Russia

Chairman of the Uzbek parliamentary party "Milliy Tiklanish" Alisher Kadyrov called on Uzbekistan and Central Asian countries to introduce a visa regime with Russia. This is reported by vzglyad.uz .

He made such a proposal after it became known about the development in Russia's "Migrant Code", which establishes rules of conduct for foreign citizens.

According to Kadyrov, a visa regime with Russia will be necessary against the background of the expected instability in the Russia, which may lead to a significant increase in the number of relocators coming to Uzbekistan.

"We recognize that our fellow citizens who go abroad in search of work should know the local language, culture, laws and specifics of their activities well. Thus, we will help those of our citizens who cannot defend their rights, agree to discrimination by local xenophobes, and most importantly, irresponsibly sell their lives, creating a serious social, political and economic burden on Uzbekistan," the deputy said.

In his opinion, such measures will not only protect the interests of migrants, but also reduce the risks for Uzbekistan itself.

Alisher Kadyrov is known for his anti-Russian and anti-Soviet views, as well as criticism of Uzbekistan's cooperation with the EAEU. In particular, he is an ardent opponent of the "Immortal Regiment" campaign in the republic.
