VIDEO: Karimov promises to establish the Islamic State in 1991

In December 1991, Presidential Candidate Islam Karimov arrived in Namangan. After meeting with several representatives of the district administration he left for Tashkent without meeting the thousands of people who were waiting for him to hear their demands. Karimov then returned to Namangan and after listening to the people’s demands he apologises, kneels down asking for forgiveness and promises to implement all the people’s demands including establishing an Islamic State if he is elected President.

This is a video capturing the event.
