Uzbekistan Congratulated For National Day On The Wrong Date

Sources: IRNA and Uzbekistan public holidays. Earlier today, barely 90 minutes after sending a cable to Kyrgyz Premier, Almazbek Atambayev, to felicitate him and the Kyrgyz people on the country's National Day, on the wrong date, Iran's First Vice President, Parviz Davoudi, sent another cable of congratulations, this time to Uzbek Premier, Shavkat Mirziyayev, to felicitate him, the Uzbek government and nation on the country's Independence and National Day (which is really on September 1st).
