Kyrrent Events in Kyrgyzstan By Dave Barry Houston Chronicle, 03-18-01 (Rick Archer's Note: "Kyrgyzstan" is a small Asian country about the size of Texas located next to the NW corner of China. It was previously a part of Russia.) Now it's time for "Foreign News Notes from Abroad". Our top story today is the recent presidential election held sometime last year in Kyrgyzstan. By way of background: Kyrgyzstan is an actual nation located in the Eastern Hemisphere. Or possibly the Western Hemisphere. It's definitely in a hemisphere. Historically, Kyrgyzstan is part of a group of nations - which also includes Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan - that were founded by a guy named "Stan". Unfortunately, most Americans know little about Kyrgyzstan. Most Americans can't even spell "Kyrgyzstan", although it's easy if you remember this simple rhyme: First there's a K. Then Y comes to play, Which is followed by R, Then guess the rest of the way.

General Information Uzbekistan has an area slightly larger than that state of California, and is one of two countries in the world that has the dubious honor of being doubly landlocked. (Goods must pass through two other countries to reach a port, the only other country which shares this trait is Liechtenstein.) Traditionally the economic, political, and distribution hub of Soviet Central Asia, Uzbekistan borders Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. The majority of Uzbekistan is desert steppe broken by fertile oases along the banks of two great rivers, the Amu Darya and Syr Darya. Uzbekistan has dry winters and no more than eight inches of rainfall per year, but its hot, dry summers extending from May to October, and water for irrigation produce excellent growing conditions for crops such as cotton, tobacco, fruits, and vegetables. The fertile Ferghana Valley boasts 6 million people, including large minorities of ethnic Kyrgyz, Tajiks, and Russians. The Ferghana Valley is split between three countries: Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, and is home to a very diverse ethnic mix. The Ferghana Valley produces a major share of the country's cotton and grain crops and contains numerous manufacturing plants, as well as natural gas and oil fields. Uzbekistan's central region consists mostly of desert, broken by the oases of the Zarafshan River, Qarshi Steppe, and Surkhandarya River. This region is best known for the ancient Silk Road cities of Samarkand and Bukhara, which together claim more than 600,000 inhabitants and comprise the heart of Uzbekistan's tourism industry. Central Uzbekistan is also home to the mining center of Navoi and contains the majority of Uzbekistan's gold and other mineral deposits, as well as the largest natural gas and oil fields. Irrigation along the Zarafshan and other rivers provides a basis for agriculture.

Kyrgyzstan, An Overview Kyrgyzstan is a newly-independent republic of the former Soviet Union, nestled in the Tian Shan mountains next to China and Kazakhstan. About five million people live here, a little over half of whom are ethnic Kyrgyz, a Turkic relative of the Mongols. The cities have a very distinct Soviet taste. But dotting the countryside are the same sheep herds and yurtas that Ghengis Khan1s Mongol hordes saw as they rode through this land. -Eric Boyle, Peace Corps Volunteer, 1993 The Land Natural Resources Climate Population ...
