Islam Karimov is quoted ;

“Our country, our people, will go forward on the road of our cherished goal, stated at the beginning of independence - the building of a legal democratic state and civil society. Our main goal is democratization and renewal of society, reform and modernization. No one can turn us from our chosen path - the attainment of a high standard of living, meeting the demands of a modern, democratic civil society.”
