State Anthem of Uzbekistan

The State Anthem of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Uzbek: Oʻzbekiston Respublikasining Davlat Madhiyasi, Ўзбекистон Республикасининг Давлат Мадҳияси, ئوزبېكىستان رېسپۇبلىكەسىنىڭ دەۋلەت مەدهىيەسى) came into being when Uzbekistan was a republic of the Soviet Union. Upon independence in 1991, lacking any other suitable candidate, the tune of the old Uzbek SSR anthem, composed by Mutal Burhanov, was retained with new lyrics written by Abdulla Oripov. This is broadcast on all Uzbek radio and television stations at 5:55 AM.
