National Anthem Of Uzbekistan
The National Anthem of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Uzbek: O‘zbekiston Respublikasining Davlat Madhiyasi) came into being when Uzbekistan was a republic of the Soviet Union. Upon independence in 1991, lacking any other suitable candidate, the tune of the old Soviet anthem, composed by Mutal Burhanov, was retained with new lyrics written by Abdulla Oripov.

Famous quotes containing the word national:
“Any honest examination of the national life proves how far we are from the standard of human freedom with which we began. The recovery of this standard demands of everyone who loves this country a hard look at himself, for the greatest achievments must begin somewhere, and they always begin with the person. If we are not capable of this examination, we may yet become one of the most distinguished and monumental failures in the history of nations.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
