TAJIKISTAN

TAJIKISTAN

Tajikistan – The Republic of Tajikistan is a landlocked mountainous country in Central Asia. it borders to the south with Afghanistan, Uzbekistan to the west, Kyrgyzstan to the north, and China to the east. Most of the population of Tajikistan belongs to the Persian language Tajik ethnic group, which share language, culture and history with Afghanistan and Iran. The mountains cover over 90% of this central Asian republic. Trade in commodities such as cotton, aluminum and uranium has contributed greatly to this constant improvement.

Administrative divisions

Tajikistan is made up of 4 administrative divisions. These are the provinces of Sughd and Khatlon, the Autonomous Province of Gorno-Badakhshan (abbreviated as GBAO), and the Republican Subordination Region (RRP – Raiony Respublikanskogo Podchineniya in transliteration from the Russian or NTJ formerly known as Karotegin Province). Each region is divided into several districts, which in turn are divided into jamoats (village-level self-governing units) and then villages (qyshloqs). As of 2006, there are 58 districts and 367 jamoats in Tajikistan.

Geography

Tajikistan is landlocked, and is the smallest nation in Central Asia. It is mostly located between latitudes 36 ° and 41 ° N (a small area is north of 41 °), and the longitudes 67 ° and 75 ° E (a small area is located east of 75 °). It is covered by mountains of the Pamir chain, and more than fifty percent of the country is over 3,000 meters above sea level. The only main areas of land are lower than the North (part of the Fergana Valley), and in the south – Kofarnihon Vakhsh and river valleys, which make up the Amu Darya. Dushanbe is located on the southern slopes above the Kofarnihon valley.

Population

Tajikistan has a population of over 8 mln. Tajiks who speak the Tajik language (a variety of Persians) are the main ethnic group, although there is a substantial minority of Uzbeks and Russians, whose number is in decline due to emigration. In 1989, Russian ethnicity grew by 7.6% of the population. Badakhshan Pamiris are considered to belong to the broader group of Tajiks. All citizens of Tajikistan are called Tajiks.

Religion

Sunni of the Hanafi school is the official religion in Tajikistan since 2009.Tajikistan considers itself a secular state with a Constitution that provides for freedom of religion. The government has declared two Islamic holidays, Id al-Fitr and Idi Qurbon, as state festivals. According to a 2009 US State Department of Release, the population of Tajikistan is 98% Muslim, (about 95% Sunni and Shiite 3%). Another 2% of the population are followers of Russian orthodoxy, a variety of Protestant denominations, Catholicism, Zoroastrianism and Buddhism.
