Adventures of the ‘Uzbek Princess’, or I’ll pay more to co-chair
ur fabulous “Uzbek Princess” uses every single oppotunity to become more popular using her power, money and title of “Her Excellency Ambassador.” In the end of May she made another step in popularizing herself — popular actors, singers, designers, film directors were not surprised to see her again. Glnara Karimova’s passion for glamourous events says it all.

May 20 was Gulnara Karimova’s Day of Glory: she finally attended the Cinema Against AIDS event at the Cannes Film Festival and co-chaired the event which was hosted by the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmfAR). I’m saying ‘finally’ because her supporters made everything possible to keep her on the list of honorary participants.

The fight over a moral legitimacy of her participation has been taking place since an anti-AIDS activist Maksim had been jailed in Uzbekistan for his campaign for healthy way of life which was amoral for the government of Uzbekistan.

“And this happens in a country that has one of the world’s fastest-rising HIV infection rates?!” you would say. And would be correct in your madness.

As Guardian notes, about 16,000 cases of HIV were reported in 2009 – more than an 11-fold increase from 1,400 cases in 2001.
