buried Uzbek president

The deceased President of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov is Saturday buried in a grave in his hometown of Samarkand.

Among the mourners was, for example, the Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Karimov died at the age of 78, a few days after he had suffered a brain haemorrhage. Uzbekistan confirmed his death Friday. He ruled since 1989 with an iron fist over the country.

Sjavkat Mirzijojev, the current prime minister, is seen as a possible successor.
