The birthday of the great statesman and military leader Sokhibkiran Amir Timur is celebrated annually in our republic on the 9th of April. The founder of the strong centralized state, where peace and stability were established, the patron of science and art, the founder of a great dynasty which gave the world many famous rulers, generals and cultural figures, the skilled diplomat to whom letters of thanks were written by many European sovereigns - exactly such our great compatriot entered into the annals of world history.
