THE GREEK DIASPORA IN UZBEKISTAN: HISTORY AND PRESENT
Abstract
The article explores the history of diasporas, the Greek diaspora on the territory of Uzbekistan, and the process by which representatives of the Greek nation–exiled political migrants as a consequence of the Second World War–were relocated to Uzbekistan. It analyzes the life of the Greek diaspora in Uzbekistan, emphasizing the humanitarianism, care, and tolerance inherent to the Uzbek people, who, even in the most difficult times, provided selfless assistance to Greeks alongside other national groups. The current situation and social role of the Greek diaspora in Uzbekistan are also examined.
