Khorogl in Tajikistan TADJIKISTAN tajikistan. khorogl Informations and links Khorogl Map Khorogl Photos Khorogl ------------------------------- The town of Khorog (Tajik, also transliterated as Khoroq, Khorogh, Khorugh, or Xoroq) is the capital of the Gorno-Badakhshan autonomous region in Tajikistan. It has a population of around 22,000. Khorog is located along the Panj River near the border with Afghanistan. Until the late 19th century, Khorog was in an area disputed between the Emir of Bukhara, Shah of Afghanistan, Russia and Britain. The Russians emerged the winners of the region after The Great Game, which fixed the current northern border of Afghanistan on the Panj River and established the territory of Russian Pamir around Khorog. Following the fall of czarist Russia and the rise of the Soviet Union, Khrorog became the capital of Gorno-Badakhshan in 1925. Soviet leaders encouraged the migration of settlers to the area with promises of pay, medals and automobiles, but with no industry and little arable land, the effort was not successful. Modern Khorog is one of the poorest areas of Tajikistan, with the charitable Aga Khan Foundation providing almost the only source of cash income. However, the city does have its own university (founded in 1992), twelve schools, and several hospitals. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Tajikistan has completed its transition from the civil war that plagued the country from 1992 to 1997. There have been no major security incidents in more than two years, although the country remains the poorest in the region. Attention by the international community in the wake of the war in Afghanistan has brought increased economic development assistance, which could create jobs and increase stability in the long term. Tajikistan is in the early stages of seeking World Trade Organization membership and has joined NATO's Partnership for Peace..
