Experts from the Center for Economic Research and Reforms (CERR) conducted a linguistic analysis of the speech of the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev at a meeting with members of the Constitutional Commission, which took place on June 20.

Using a cloud of words, analysts determined what the head of state focused on the most.

In his speech, the head of state stressed that the updated Constitution will serve, first of all, the future development of our people, society and state. At the same time, the President put forward his proposals on four priority areas of the new Constitution.

The results of the analysis, from the original language, showed the following:

In total, the President used 5674 words in his speech, the most used of which were "constitution" - 106 times, "state" - 75 times, "person" - 54 times, "rights" - 42 times.

Words such as "citizen", "law", "proposal", "new" and "life" were used over 30 times.

The words "society", "strong", "reform", "family", "Uzbekistan", "free", "social" were used more than 20 times.

If you pay attention to the words used in the speech of the head of state, you can see that the main emphasis was based on the “man-society-state” approach, which is the main principle of today’s reforms.

The President called on compatriots to take a more active part in the process of constitutional reform.

On 25 June, a draft constitutional law on amendments to the Constitution was published on the portal “This is my Constitution” for public discussion in Uzbek and Russian. Citizens can send comments and remarks. The discussion will end on 4 July, after which the bill will be submitted to a referendum.

At the moment, the text of the bill contains over 170 amendments to 66 articles of the Basic Law.
