Gli inferiori. La pura razza turkmena è l'ultima trovata del presidente-dittatore Niyazov alle prese con una campagna di espulsioni degli appartenenti a minoranze etniche:
Turkmenistan’s officials have for years sought to emphasize the heritage of the Turkmen nation, sometimes going to absurd lengths to do it. State officials must undergo background checks -- going back three generations -- to verify their lineage. Under Niyazov, history has been revised to give the Turkmen people a more prominent role in world events. Texts that disagree are increasingly hard to find in Turkmenistan, particularly after the closure of most of the country’s libraries. Critics say the policy appears to imply that other peoples are inferior to Turkmen. And there have already been documented cases of Uzbek children at Turkmen schools being ordered to dress in Turkmen garb or be thrown out. Turkmen officials have remained silent on the issue of such expulsions, and the seemingly low number of cases means Uzbek officials are likely to continue to avoid the problem. But for broken families like Ziyoda Ruzimova’s, the issue can hardly be underestimated. Vi sbagliate, riguarda tutti. |
