1. (U) The Chairman of the Islamic Renaissance Party, Said
Abdullo Nuri passed away August 9 at approximately 16:30. Nuri
had been suffering from stomach cancer and his death was not
unexpected. He had received periodic treatments in Iran and
Germany for over a year and returned to Dushanbe July 26. The
IRPT suspected he was approaching his final days and relocated
their headquarters to his home (reftel).


2. (C) COMMENT: Nuri's successor is not clear and sources say
that President Rahmonov would prefer the IRPT appoint a more
conservative chairman. A more conservative Islamic leader would
likely allow Rahmonov to label the IRPT as an extremist group,
potentially alienating the party from the mainstream public and
paving the way for him to consolidate power further. Post will
follow developments in the IRPT closely in the coming days. END
COMMENT.
