Fergana Valley Turmoil Spurs Security Deployment
In Moscow, Rafik Nishanov testified on unrest sweeping the Fergana Valley 1500 miles southeast of Moscow. Uzbeks clashed with the Meskhi, a Turkish minority. 6,000 internal security troops were sent to restore order. About 12,000 Meskhi residents were evacuated to a military garrison after deadly days beginning May 23, with one man dead and sixty wounded.
