Open-source information explicitly linking Mirziyoev or his administration
to the compound -- which is sealed off from the general public by roadblocks and security personnel -- is sparse.
People who worked on the construction site said they had their phones confiscated upon arrival, and reporters could find no photographs in the public domain showing Mirziyoev at the property. The compound’s thin paper trail leads back to the state-owned Uzbekistan Railways -- which controls the protected land on which it was built -- and state-owned contractors.
But there is one notable feature that the compound -- known on paper as the “Shovvozsoy recreation area,” after the nearby river -- has in common with other residences used by Mirziyoev and highlights its importance to the Uzbek government: a no-fly zone.
