Uzbekistan’s parliament on Thursday appointed the country’s prime minister to be the new acting president, replacing Islam Karimov, the longtime authoritarian head of state, who died of a stroke recently at the age of 78.
乌兹别克斯坦议会周四决定由总理代为行使总统职务，代替去世的伊斯兰·卡里莫夫。卡里莫夫在乌兹别克斯坦长期执政，日前因脑溢血去世，享年78岁。
An exiled Uzbek opposition leader immediately denounced the move as unconstitutional.
一名遭放逐的乌兹别克斯坦反对党领袖随即谴责这种行为违反了宪法。
Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who served as Karimov’s prime minister since 2003, was appointed in a joint session of the upper and lower houses of parliament, making him the favorite to win Uzbekistan’s next presidential election, set to take place within the next three months.
沙夫卡特·米尔济约耶夫自2003年以来担任卡里莫夫内阁的总理，在乌兹别克斯坦议会上下两院联席会议中被任命为代总统，这使他有望赢得即将在三个月内举行的总统大选。
Muhammad Salih, leader of the banned Erk (Freedom) Democratic Party, who has been living in exile in Istanbul, Turkey for more than a decade, told Russia’s privately-owned TV Rain on Thursday that the Uzbek parliament’s move was a "gross violation of the constitution" and a "silent coup" carried out for "the usurpation of power."
穆罕默德·萨利赫是乌兹别克斯坦被禁政党自由民主党的领袖，因被放逐而在土耳其伊斯坦布尔居住了超过十年。他周四在接受俄罗斯私人电视台“雨露台”采访时说，乌兹别克斯坦议会的行为是“对宪法的极大侵犯”，是“以一种静默政变的方式篡夺了权力”。
According to Article 96 of Uzbekistan’s constitution, the chairman of the upper chamber of parliament, Nigmatilla Yuldashev, should have been named the new acting president, but he declined, TV Rain reported.
雨露台报道，根据乌兹别克斯坦宪法第64条规定，被提名为代总统的应该是上议院议长尼格马提拉·约尔达谢夫，但是他拒绝了提名。
The television channel quoted Salih as saying Yuldashev may have been pressured or even blackmailed to refuse accepting the post of acting president.
电视台援引萨利赫的话称，约尔达谢夫可能被施加了压力或者被勒索了，所以才谢绝出任代总统。
Dannil Kislov, chief editor of Fergana, an independent Uzbek information agency, told TV Rain that the parliament’s decision was a shock for local Uzbek officials and observers in the capital, Tashkent, who were certain Yuldashev would become the new acting president. Kislov said that under Uzbek law, Yuldashev was required to accept the appointment.
乌兹别克斯坦独立新闻社“费尔干纳”主编丹尼尔·基斯洛夫在接受雨露台采访时说，议会的决定震惊了首都塔什干本地的官员和分析人士，因为他们都以为约尔达谢夫会成为代总统。基斯洛夫说，根据乌兹别克斯坦法律，约尔达谢夫应该接受任命。
