I was born in 1990
We the Kyrgyz' got together and wanted to shoot and kill Uzbeks...
Soldiers came and provided us with the assault weapons
They gave us the rifles and then we were shooting at them (Uzbeks)
And after we finished shooting at them, the other day in the evening
They told us to smash (destroy) them again
And they were also shooting at them
We were destroying them as well
And I eventually was captured
There were no Uzbek left, not even one
We've burned the houses
We also killed the kids

(Undefined voice)
(The same guy now rescued and safe) I --- was born in 1990 --- ---
(Azattyk reporter approaches) --- How were you kidnapped? Can you tell about it?
I leaved the (my) house to look around
I was just looking at the crowd (people) on the other side of the road
I was walking, walking
And then I noticed there were noone left behind me
And then
One from the back said - "Stop!"
(Azattyk reporter asking) Who said you to stop?
Uzbek...
Two-three boys (men)
And put the gun to my head and said to stop.
(Azattyk reporter asking) And they kidnapped you? Where did they take you?
They dragged me to somewhere
There were lots of, Uzbeks there...
And later they said they will cut my throat
And said they will shoot (record) my video first
They told me (threatened me) to say "Soldiers gave us the weapons"
(Azattyk reporting asking) Send (upload) to Internet?
Yes, they said they will send it (upload) to Internet.
And told me to say "Soldiers gave us the weapons"
Told me to say "We've looted everywhere, burned and crashed"
They told me to say exactly the same thing and I eventually said that way
(Azattyk reporter asking) What else did they tell (ask) you (to do)?

(Uzbekistan official state TV speaker narrating)
(And the President of Uzbekistan, Mr.Islam Karimov comments on recent events in Kyrgyzstan)
(Mr.Islam Karimov starts his speech) The question -"Why did such an event occur?" is an incomplete question.
In fact, the actual question is...
What was it (As if)?! As if there was a kind of a clash between Uzbek and Kyrgyz nations
I'm certainly against for even the rumours that there will be a dispute or clash between these brother nations.
I'm certainly AGAINST it!
Why?
This is organized, a well organized ... action.
So to say it in Uzbek - a provocative action (Qo'vparuvchi harakat)
None of Kyrgyz' nor the Uzbeks caused this kind of disaster (tragedy�
