HISTORY
Uzbekistan, in the ancient cradle between the
Amu-Darya and Syr-Darya rivers, is the most
historically fascinating of the Central Asian
republics. Within it are some of the oldest towns
in the world, some of the Silk Road's main
centres and most of the region's architectural
splendours. Uzbekistan occupies the heartland of
Central Asia, sharing a border with all the other
'Stans', which is one of the reasons why it
considers itself the most important of the former
Soviet Central Asian republics, and why it is
increasingly fulfilling the role of regional
gendarme, more details to come……
