In his opinion, the seizure of state institutions was a classical sabotage operation.
"A group of well-armed militants on several cars attacked the police station to seize weapons and release their accomplices from jail," the expert noted.
Speaking about the actions of Uzbekistan's authorities, RIA Novosti's interlocutor said, "[Uzbekistan's President] Karimov arrival in rebellious Andizhan let the law enforcement bodies take control over the situation."
