MOSCOW, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News -6th Sept,2016) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday laid roses at the grave of late Uzbek leader islam Karimov, whose death last week after 27 years in charge sparked fears of instability in the Central Asian nation.
Footage broadcast by Russian state television showed Putin kneeling at Karimov's flower-covered grave in the historic city of Samarkand after he made a detour to visit ex-Soviet Uzbekistan on his way home from the G20 summit in China.
The Kremlin leader was accompanied by Uzbek Prime Minister Shavkat Mirziyoyev, in a further hint that he could be in line to take over long-term from Karimov, who was announced dead at 78 on Friday and was buried Saturday with no clear successor.
