1. (C) WASHINGTON ANALYSTS WISH TO EXTEND KUDOS TO POST FOR
REFTEL, WHICH PROVIDED UNIQUE INSIGHTS AND INFORMATION ON
TAJIKISTAN'S ISLAMIC REVIVAL PARTY. ANALYSTS IN PARTICULAR
APPRECIATE EFFORTS MADE BY POST TO DETAIL INTERNAL DEBATES
REGARDING THE PARTY'S DIRECTION. WASHINGTON POLICYMAKERS
REMAIN INTERESTED IN THE ISLAMIC REVIVAL PARTY AND THE
DIRECTION CENTRAL ASIAN ISLAM IS EVOLVING. ANALYSTS WOULD
GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY FURTHER REPORTING POST CAN PROVIDE ON
THIS TOPIC, AS TIME AND RESOURCES PERMIT. MANY THANKS, AND
REGARDS FROM WASHINGTON.
