7th Sep 2005, 16:14 GMT
Uzbek refugees who fled to Kyrgyzstan in the aftermath of the Andijon violence on 12-13 May were flown to Romania in July. They now say they are satisfied with conditions in a refugee camp in Timisoara. But it is not yet clear when they will be resettled to a country of permanent residence. The refugees are also demanding an independent probe into the Andijon uprising. RFE/RL correspondent Saida Kalkulova recently traveled to Timisoara and filed this report from a refugee camp.
