On the same day, the 660th anniversary of the birth of Amir Temur was celebrated with great solemnity in Registan Square of Samarkand. This ancient and sacred city, which has become the beauty of the world, is a sacred place where the fate of Sahibkiran, his troubled days, great dreams, aspirations and sufferings are witnessed. At the same time, Samarkand is a symbol of the power of genius of Amir Temur, who made the nation a nation, a state, his unique expression. During the ceremony, the first President of our country Islam Karimov presented Samarkand with the Order of Amir Temur. He congratulated the people of the city with the award and suggested declaring this memorable day - October 18 - "Samarkand Day", noting that the awarding of the first digital order to the city during the birthday of Sahibkiran is a symbolic historical event. The audience welcomed the offer. “When we remember Amir Temur, we respectfully mention the capital of the Sahibkiran kingdom. Because the concepts of Amir Temur and Samarkand are inseparable. The blue domes of Samarkand, the skyscrapers, their unique colors, the world-famous patterns and motifs encourage us not to look at the ground, but to raise our heads and live with dignity, ”said the President with pride. The theatrical program dedicated to the 660th anniversary of Amir Temur, held in Samarkand's Registan Square, has a deeper historical and philosophical dimension.
