On January 2, the deputy of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis, the head of the “Milliy tiklanish” party, Alisher Kadyrov, made a call to labor migrants from Uzbekistan who are in the Russian Federation.
The politician called on the migrants “to turn on their heads and leave Russia as soon as possible”. The deputy published an appeal against the backdrop of news from Khabarovsk, where an Uzbek citizen, according to preliminary data, died during a security forces raid against illegal migrants. Under what circumstances the man died is still unknown, diplomats are investigating the matter and providing support to the migrant’s family.
Believe me, the situation is only getting worse with each passing month. Russian security services view migrants from Central Asia as potential threats to public order, and as a result, they have effectively abandoned any consideration of the benefits these people could bring. No income is worth the tears of parents and your children, — Alisher Kadyrov.
It is worth noting that Russia remains the main source of remittances for Uzbekistan, with migrants from the Russian Federation accounting for up to 80% of total remittances, or more than $12 billion.
This is one of the country’s main sources of foreign currency and income for the population: without remittances, the poverty rate would be twice as high. Remittances remain the primary source of income for millions of people. The scale of labor migration points to a widespread shortage of well-paid jobs within the country.
