A. Hamzaev added that each deputy has specific tasks and goals based on the party program and voter demands. He noted that there are many dedicated people in Samarkand who work with selflessness to fulfill these tasks. The forum planned to disseminate the experience of such deputies and discuss upcoming issues.
Afterward, forum participants learned about the activities of 'Yettilik' in the Devori Kundalang district of Samarkand city and held an open dialogue with residents. The party leader noted that reforms aimed at bringing the mahalla system to a new level, strengthening the activities of 'mahalla yettiligi,' and turning the mahalla into an important pillar between the state and society place a great responsibility on deputies.

The Islamic Republic of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps reported that a strike was carried out on a US military facility located in the Al-Tanf area of Syria on Saturday.
According to state media of the Islamic Republic, this attack was conducted as an act of retaliation for the deaths of local soldiers in Aranshahr. Official confirmation of this information is currently unavailable.
Reuters stated that it could not conduct an independent verification of the situation. US military forces and the Syrian government also made no comments on the matter. It was previously known that the American army had completely left the base in Al-Tanf, which was located at a strategic point on the border of Syria, Jordan, and Iraq in February of this year.
Currently, the Syrian leadership seeks to avoid interference in the regional conflict affecting neighboring states. It is known that Hezbollah in neighboring Lebanon is engaged in combat operations against the Israeli army, while armed groups linked to Iran continuously strike US bases in Iraq with drones and missiles.
President Ahmad al-Sharrah emphasized at an event by the Chatham House analytical center in London in March that the country will remain aloof from any turmoil if neither side initiates direct attacks on Syrian territory.
Iranian military forces announced full control of the Strait of Hormuz by the Tehran command, which is of strategic importance. State media warns that if strikes from the US continue, no oil or gas exports will be permitted through this waterway.
