Thanks for your comment. However, if all of us will be waiting for the “next” generation to take over, nothing is going to change for the better. And by saying this, I do not mean acting and calling for a war or anything like that.
It has been more than 10 years since the peace has been established in our country and I praise God for that, but it is time now to grow and make things work in our country! Something has to be done and I don’t think it will do any better if everything is done the way it is being done presently in our society by the “сильные мира сего”.

And as for the impact on parents’ financial situation, to my mind this is something to be decided by the PARENTS themselves, they don’t have to make the celebration of graduation ceremonies and the “first book” days the way that would make them not have anything to live on for the next half a year or so. This is all about the way children are brought up by THE PARENTS and has NOTHING to do with the state forbidding the celebration of these events.

And our State is poor not because we don’t have resources to live a better life or because of our isolation (which I agree has its own impact on overall situation of the country) but because the whole attitude and mentality needs to be reviewed.

Thanks again for the comment though….

As far as dismissals are concerned, according to Asia-Plus in the end of July, the city administration decided to establish the “recommended prices” to the essential goods, in the markets, including meat. As a result the “favorable” prices were set but the meat itself has disappeared from the counters: the merchants simply refused to sell their goods at the “recommended prices”. In their turn authorities responded by dismissing heads of the five main markets of Dushanbe. Similar situations took place in the past and still do when the Heads of Governmental Institutions are also dismissed for not having “fulfilled” their duties.

Sometimes I think that our people are so narrow minded that 15 years of freedom hasn’t even given them a slightest idea of the world around them.

All these measures remind me of the old soviet system, which I am sure are best examples of how the government should function for many of those who are run the country.

Is that all you can do guys? Come on! Nomi Kulobihora past nazanen…

My advice: Let the smart people who can contribute do their job and watch the country flourish!

These cookie-cutter approaches won’t do any good. READ A.Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations” and think about what I just said.
Seriously guys, you embarrass me!
