Tajikistan Thru My Eyes Episode 2: Fergana Valley

Tajikistan may be one of the least understood countries in the least understood part of the world. With Western China to its east, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan to its north, Uzbek desert to its West,and Afghanistan to its south, this small mostly mountainous country is one of the main places to view major international and transnational stories of today.
From drug smuggling to Ecotoursim. Cotton to Islam. Soviet legacies to American soilders. Traditions and modernity. I invite you to come with me on my adventure throughout this beautiful and diverse country.

@camomilleable11 it was not lenin who drew the border of TJK and UZB but Stalin

[camomilleable11]

I hate Lenin, He divided Tajiks land into two parts which is Uzbakistan(not Tashkent) and Tajikistan and a small part in Kyrgyzstan. Uzbaks is the worst people in Central Asia. Those lands used to belong to Ancient Tajiks for centuries. Tajiks established those lands.
