Arbor Ballroom Updated: Tuesday, July 5, 2005 05:31 AM EDT United Press International advertisement Tajikistan banks on Russia for defense By Lara Salahi Jul. 1, 2005 at 5:35PM According to Zeyno Baran, Director of International Studies and Energy at the Nixon Center, for Russia establishing a presence in Tajikistan is actually, "a way for Russia to influence Central Asian countries while weakening the U.S." However, Tajikistan does not seem to be complaining it has actually invited more military presence in its country because, according to Alcott, it has not fully recovered from the civil war, which has led to revolutionary Islamist upheaval as well socioeconomic unrest. Islamist insurgents have been active in all the "Stans," the former Soviet republics of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and others. Most recently, Russia has sent humanitarian aid to Tajikistan following a flood last week that hit its southern region. "The president and his family are corrupt," said Baran, "and that can cause problems with the Islamic opposition party that wants to get rid of him."

Tajikistan: Mining Opportunities and Investment Outlook Prepared by Jamshed Rahmonberdiev, BISNIS Representative in Tajikistan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES April 2005 SUMMARY Tajikistan’s mountainous landscapes contain a wide range of natural resources Unfortunately, t his resource potential has not been fully evaluated, mainly due to Tajikistan’s geographical location as well as the country’s low profile among mining and investment communities in the West. Due to a six-year civil conflict, which followed Tajikistan’s independence, the country is still transitioning from the command economy of the Soviet era. Since 2000, however, the country has quickly moved towards a democratic, diversified, market economy. Tajikistan currently exports raw cotton and aluminum and, since September 11, 2001, has been an important front line state in the war on terror. The purpose of this market report is to provide a review of Tajikistan’s mining sector. The report provides a general overview of the market and describes mining opportunities and joint ventures. In addition, this report briefly describes licensing procedures and legislation in the mining sector and gives useful contact information for potential investors seeking opportunities in Tajikistan. Tajikistan is located South-East of Asia and shares borders with China, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.

TRO Case Studies Archive: TRO Restoring the Rights of Refugees in Tajikistan How the local NGO Fidokor is helping local government and refugees reintegrate into Tajik society after a devastating civil war. Dushanbe, Tajikistan Story and Photos by Jennifer Marsh Eurasia Foundation Tashkent Regional Office February 2001 Life is beginning to return to normal in Tajikistan. Throughout the 1990s, a civil war raged throughout the country, forcing hundreds of thousands to flee their homes to escape the fighting going on around them. This displacement soon became a national tragedy as the homeless flocked to the relative safe haven of Dushanbe, the capital city. Over 100,000 others were forced to turn south to Afghanistan, choosing to face the uncertainty of rule under that country's Taliban rather than risk death in their own country. Once the warring parties signed a United Nations-sponsored peace accord in 1997, most of the refugees were able to return home. Many found only ashes and destruction where their houses and farms had once been, while others arrived to find their homes occupied by strangers. Countless people were left without identification papers and other documents. A public policy crisis loomed before Tajikistan's government, limited as it was in its ability to help its citizens rebuild their lives. It was at this point, the nongovernmental organization (NGO) Fidokor stepped in to help.

Tajikistan Tajikistan History and Government History: The Tajiks come from an ancient stock – the inhabitants of the Pamir Mountains claim to be the only pure descendants of the Aryan tribes who invaded India over 4000 years ago, and that the Saxon tribes of Western Europe also originated there. Tajikistan’s inaccessibility has protected it from most invaders, although Alexander the Great founded a city on the site of modern-day Khojand, calling it Alexandria Eskate (Alexandria the Furthest). However, the mountains effectively spared it from the Mongols, although it was under their aegis. After the dissolution of the Mongol Empire, Tajikistan was successively ruled by the emirs of Samarkand, Bukhara, and finally, Kokhand. It was eventually ceded to the Russian sphere of influence in the dying days of the ‘Great Game’ of political intrigue between the Russian Empire and the British in India at the end of the 19th century. The Bolsheviks were not made welcome and the Basmachi movement continued to resist them until the early-1930s. Enver Pasha (d. 1924) and Ibraghim Beg (d. 1931) both came to their end in Tajikistan. During the fighting, some 200,000 Tajiks fled to Afghanistan. Tajikistan’s distance and remoteness again saved it during the Soviet era, when it escaped more lightly than other republics did.

General data Political situation Following the break-up of the former Soviet Union, Tajikistan became an independent Republic on 9 September 1991. Largely unprepared for this new reality, Tajikistan soon faced an acute social and economic crisis as the previous interdependent central planning system disintegrated. The situation was severely aggravated by the ensuing civil war. The country experienced the emergence of various political platforms presenting divergent policies to deal with the rapidly deteriorating situation. The failure to maintain stability was largely caused by the struggle between different regional and political affiliations for the redistribution of power in the country after the collapse of the previous political system. The crisis was further compounded by ideological differences.

A rugged, mountainous country, with lush valleys to the south and north, it now faces the challenge of strengthening peace and reviving its ruined economy. OVERVIEW FACTS LEADERS MEDIA Nearly half of Tajikistan's population is under 14 years of age. Tajiks are the largest ethnic group, with Uzbeks making up a quarter of the population, over half of which is employed in agriculture and just one-fifth in industry. The Tajik language is very close to Persian, spoken in Iran, and to Dari, spoken in Afghanistan. The five-year civil war between the Moscow-backed government and the Islamist-led opposition, in which up to 50,000 people were killed and over one-tenth of the population fled the country, ended in 1997 with a United Nations-brokered peace agreement. Tajikistan has been accused by its neighbours of tolerating the presence of training camps for Islamist rebels on its territory, an accusation which it has strongly denied.
