Uzbek authorities object to the establishment of an international commission to investigate the recent events in Andizhan. \"Uzbekistan thinks that appeals for forming an international commission to investigate the Andizhan events are unfounded,\" says an Uzbek Foreign Ministry statement released in Tashkent on Thursday. A number of international organizations, including the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, have called for the international participation in the Andizhan investigation.

These forces goal was the liquidation of the constitutional system and the secular and democratic way of development chosen by the people of Uzbekistan,\" the statement runs. (Interfax)
