LEGAL BASIS FOR THE DELIMITATION OF TERRITORIES BETWEEN TAJIKISTAN AND KYRGYZSTAN - A LOOK THROUGH THE PRISM OF HISTORY
Speaking about the instability and explosiveness of Central Asia, experts and political scientists, first of all, have in mind exactly the Ferghana Valley. Factors capable of destabilizing the situation more than enough include the following: 1. Increased religiosity of the population; 2. Unresolved border issue; 3. The problem of enclaves; 4. Demographic - the Ferghana Valley is considered the most densely populated in the region; 5. Access to water, land, fertile pastures, etc.; 6. Ecology. Each of these factors can have the most serious negative impact on the security of all of Central Asia. As a rule, border disputes arise due to differences in the positions of states regarding the issue of ownership of a particular territory (or part of it) due to the lack of legal foundations for regulating this issue. We are now seeing this problem on the border of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. In order to understand the causes of these contradictions and to determine whether there are legal grounds for resolving these disputes, it is necessary to delve into the historical roots of the emergence of these states within the USSR.
