One of the oldest mosques in the Uzbek capital of Tashkent will be named after late President Islam Karimov, who the Uzbek government said died on September 2 after suffering a stroke.
Karimov's daughter, Lola Karimova-Tillyaeva, wrote on Facebook on September 13 that she and her husband have been working on renovating the mosque in Tashkent that suffered a fire in 2015.
"Due to the proposal by the Council of Religious Scholars and the society, it has been decided to name the mosque as the Mosque of Islam-Ata (the Mosque of Father Islam) in the memory of Uzbekistan's first president, my father, Islam Karimov," Karimova-Tillyaeva wrote.
Karimov, 78, had ruled for 27 years.
