¶1. (C) Summary: Parliamentarians (MPs) from the 
German-Central Asia group met with GOU officials in February 
to discuss cooperation on issues including terrorism.  GOU 
officials held to the party line that the truth about Andijon 
had been established.  The Germans were generally pleased 
that the GOU treated the German delegation well.  However, 
the German DCM believes this treatment was because the Uzbeks 
know Germany will have significant budgetary control over EU 
aid programs during the next year.  End summary. 
 
¶2. (C) MPs from a sub-group within the German Parliament that 
focuses on Central Asia met with Uzbek counterparts and the 
GOU's Ombudsman for Human Rights, Sayora Rashidova, on 
February 20.  Uzbek television reported they discussed 
interparliamentary relations and cooperation on issues 
including terrorism, trans-border issues and the environment. 
 German DCM Kurt Stockl-Stillfried told Poloff such a meeting 
has usually occurred every two years, but was cancelled last 
year due to events in Andijon.  Stockl-Stillfried said that 
Uzbek television interviewed the delegation and GOU MPs, 
including Rashidova, at the German Ambassador's residence, 
and asked numerous questions about Andijon.  He said that the 
official representatives held firm to GOU rhetoric, saying 
only that the &truth8 had been established and the trials 
had been held, implying that the GOU has done all that was 
required of it. 
 
¶3. (C) The Germans also met with FM Ganiev who, according to 
the German DCM, spoke favorably about the OSCE, but said he 
thought it was too focused on the east.  Stockl-Stillfried 
mentioned Ganiev did not yell at the Germans as he did at a 
Finnish delegation in February (reftel).  In a separate 
meeting, Minister for Internal Affairs Bakhodir Matlyubov 
said that he supports a &dialogue with the people8 of 
Uzbekistan on the events in Andijon.  In the German DCM,s 
opinion, Matlyubov gave the impression that he wants to move 
on from Andijon as he was not involved. 
 
¶4. (C) Comment: The delegation felt the GOU was unwilling to 
proceed with resolving the events in Andijon.  The GOU 
treated the German delegation respectfully, said the German 
DCM, because the GOU does not want to upset the Germans who 
will control most of the EU aid programs for the next year.
