Socialist Party of Tajikistan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Socialist Party of Tajikistan (Tajik: Ҳизби Сотсиалистӣи Тоҷикистон - Hizbi Sotsialistīi Tojikston) is a political party in Tajikistan. The party was founded on June 15, 1996, and registered on August 6 the same year.[1][2][3] The party publishes Ittihod (Иттиход).[4] The chairman of the party, Safarali Kendzhaev, was assassinated in Dushanbe in 1999.[5] Prior to his murder, there had been speculations that he might have intended to run for president.[6]
In early 2004 the party was divided, with two groups claiming the name 'Socialist Party of Tajikistan'. One group was led by Abduhalim Ghafarov, a Ministry of Education official, and Kurbon Vosiev, a presidential adviser. The other group was led by Mirhuseyn Narziev. The Ghafarov-led group, which supports the government, obtained the legal registration.[7][8][1]
