Tashkent is one of the famous cultural and scientific centres of Central Asia. Historically, being situated on the Great Silk Road, Tashkent was the place where East and West met in brotherhood for intercultural and interreligious dialogue. Tashkent, the capital of the Republic of Uzbekistan, is one of the ancient cities of Central Asia. Tashkent was well known 2,200 years ago as Choch. The celebration of the 2,200th anniversary of the foundation of the city of Tashkent will certainly promote a new focus on the old city and on four world heritage sites at Shakhrisyabz, Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva.
