SCO states call the earliest restoration of calm in Xinjang.
BEIJING, July 12 (Itar-Tass) - Countries-members of the Shanghai
Cooperation Organization (SCO) hope that the situation in Xinjang will
soon return to normal, Bolat Nurgaliyev, the SCO general secretary, said in a statement released in the Chinese capital last Saturday in connection with the latest events in China's Xinjang-Uighur Autonomous Region.
"Countries members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization regard the
Xinjang-Uighur Autonomous Region as an integral part of China and consider
the developments there to be an internal affair of the People's Republic
of China," the general secretary went on to say.
"We hope that actions which the Chinese authorities are taking in full
compliance with the law to maintain public order in Xinjang will soon make
it possible to restore calm and bring the region back to normal life and
work," Nurgaliyev emphasized.
He presented his deepest condolences to the families and relatives of
innocent people who were either killed or hurt by the clashes' instigators.
.Monument to Russian philanthropist unveiled in Peterhof.
ST.PETERSBURG, July 12 (Itar-Tass) - A monument to Baron Alexander
Shtiglits was unveiled in Peterhof, an imperial summer residence, on the
Gulf of Finland, last Saturday.
The new tourist attraction kicked off the celebrations of the 304th
anniversary of Peterhof known as a town of fountains. Baron Shtiglits, a
financier, industrialist and an art patron, left a noticeable trace in the
history of the country residence of Russian tsars.
In 1853 the Russian state began the construction of the Peterhof
Railroad. But the Crimean War put an end to state funding. Baron Shtiglits
invested two million rubles in the Peterhof Railroad and covered all the
expenses for its construction.
On July 21, 1857 the first train delivered passengers from St.
Petersburg to Petrerhof.
Concerts, exhibitions and carnivals were held in various parts of
Peterhof.
In the meantime, a florist festival called the 'Imperial Bouquet' was
held in Pavlovsk, another imperial residence outside St.Petersburg. Two
hundred florists from Russia and foreign countries are taking part in it.
The flower festival is timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the
birth of Empress Maria Fyodorovna, the wife of Emperor Paul I.
At least 12,000 people are expected to visit Pavlovsky during the
weekend. The festival's organizers have proclaimed full freedom in
creative work and promised to support new ideas and innovative methods and
debuts in the florist art and park design.
A contest program includes the decoration of vases in the private
garden of Maria Fyodorovna, the making of a historical bouquet or
decorations (like flower garlands, fans, handbags and hats), the creation
of a flower costume.
Visitors can enjoy the landscape design; everybody can participate in
a master class of garden and park design and decoration of the interiors.
For the first time an assembly of stylists accompanied by a fashion
show will be held as part of the florist festival.
