Uzbekistan declares 2015 “Year of the Elders”
December 16, 2014
Uzbekistan follows a now well-established custom since its independence in 1991. Every year on December 8, the Day of the Constitution, the guiding theme for the coming year is announced. For example, 2014 was the year of the “Healthy Child”, 2004 the “Year of Love and Compassion.”
The Uzbekistan government has declared 2015 to be “The Year of Attention and Care for Elder People.”
