National History as Tools of Installing National Borders in Central Asia Countries
-
Sharipov Shokhruz
Abstract
In recent times, the border conflicts of Central Asia have been a serious challege for the Central Asian governments’ bodies. Certainly there are border signs established between the states, however, many of them are hard to be delineated due to extreme geographical obstacles, such as mountains, rivers and the like. All Central Asian countries have faced this problem since their independence in 1990s. Moreover, many countries in this area cannot entirely solve this problem, due to several reasons, such as residents’ pressure. For instance, there was a border problem between Kyrgiz and Tajik states in May 2021 and many citizens of these states attacked one another. Therefore, the purpose of my speech at this conference is to present that the solution to this problem is directly related to the period of the Soviet regime, especially 1924-1925, when many of the borders of Central Asian countries were divided by Stalin the head of the USSR. This had an adverse effect on the independence movements of Central Asian countries in the 1990s.
