Uzbekistan Declares April “Month of Amir Temur” to Mark 690th Birth Anniversary

Tashkent, The Gulf Observer: A presidential resolution has been adopted to widely celebrate the 690th anniversary of the birth of Amir Temur, underscoring the significance of the date not only as a historical milestone but also as a vital process of reaffirming national identity and studying a rich spiritual and cultural heritage.

Under the resolution, April has been declared the “Month of Amir Temur.” A series of large-scale educational, scientific, and cultural events will be held nationwide, including meetings, roundtables, and discussions involving scholars of Timurid studies, writers, and cultural figures at educational institutions, research centers, and local communities.

As part of the initiative, a comprehensive roadmap through 2030 has been approved to support the systematic study of Timurid-era history and to promote the wider dissemination of research findings related to the period.

A key event within the program will be an international scientific conference titled “The Role and Significance of Amir Temur and the Timurid Civilization in World History and Culture,” scheduled for April 9–10 at the Center of Islamic Civilization. Scholars from various countries are expected to participate, fostering discussion of new research and expanding international academic cooperation.

The resolution also provides for the publication of “The Code of Temur” with scholarly commentaries in Persian, Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Spanish, and Russian, enabling broader global engagement with this foundational work. In addition, illustrated volumes titled “100 Unique Manuscripts of the Timurid Era” and “100 Unique Artistic Gems of the Timurid Era” will be prepared.

Another major initiative includes the creation of a dedicated electronic platform to consolidate Timurid-era sources. Digitized manuscripts, historical documents, and academic articles will be made accessible to a wide audience, enhancing research and public understanding.

To ensure the high-level preparation and effective implementation of all planned events, the composition of an organizing committee has been approved and tasked with coordinating activities and ensuring their depth, quality, and lasting impact.
