Excursion to the Museum of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Uzbekistan

According to the decision of January 14, 1992 on the transfer of all military units and formations, military educational institutions and other military formations deployed in the territory of our independent state and the development of a long-term program for reforming the national army of the Republic of Uzbekistan, in order to familiarize themselves with the history and achievements of the Armed Forces, it was organized a tour to the State Museum of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Uzbekistan for students of Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent.

During the tour, students were able not only to study the history of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Uzbekistan but also to get acquainted with the expositions of the rich and extensive history of the museum of Central Asian and Uzbek military art. Getting acquainted with the exhibits, university students mentally traveled to our past, learned about the life of people, the development of defense, military equipments and weapons that were used to protect the territories, and also familiarized with the exhibits of our great ancestors, like Jaloliddin Manguberdi, Amir Temur, Zakhiriddin Muhammad Babur and Mirzo Ulugbek.

The monument “Oath to the Motherland”, erected at the entrance to the museum and reflecting the image of the faithful and strong son of our country, did not leave anyone indifferent.

The excursion to the State Museum of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Uzbekistan was another step towards increasing students’ love and respect for their homeland, dedication and expanding knowledge about the history of our country.
