TAJIK PRESIDENT ASKS MINISTERS, MEDIA NOT TO SING HIS PRAISES
By empty (8/19/2002 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Rakhmonov has asked his Press Secretary Zafar Saidov to remind government officials and journalists of his aversion on principle to excessive adulation or similar manifestations of a cult of personality. The warning, Saidov said, is intended to forestall excessive attention to the president's upcoming 50th birthday, which he regards as a "purely family affair." Rakhmonov issued a similar warning late last year against extensive and fawning media coverage of his activities.Visit also
