Interview to the site of the Culture of Uzbekistan by the main specialist of the UZINFOCOM Center Evgenia SKLYAREVSKY

- Evgeny Semyonovich, today we all looked deep into our history and saw many new and interesting things for ourselves and learned. And this is all as a result of the great work carried out by UZIFOCOM with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Sports, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies, Uzbektourism. How it all was, will the continuation of the action "Seven Wonders of Uzbekistan" continue?
- It was a very exciting event. There was a stormy discussion, disputes about which objects are the best, after all? The thing is that people voted themselves on the Internet on our website Meros.uz in all regions of Uzbekistan, they themselves chose the seven best and won. In general, the action was beautiful and passed very well. Before other countries conducted, then decided, and the worse we are, the more we have such a number of remarkable objects of antiquity. And they organized this action. In total, about 400 such objects were identified, we all painted and put on a map, so that it would be easier to navigate. Now our future guests from different countries, we ourselves have clear guidelines for where to go and what must be seen necessarily.

We are at the beginning of the road and are going to hold such holidays again. Many thanks to the library named after Alisher Navoi for the invitation to take part in this action. It turned out to be a real holiday with the participation of the managers of the objects who became winners. It was also very nice to see and hear the singer Sherali Juraev here. We remember him well from childhood. There is much to be proud of Uzbekistan and it's great.
