The Republic of Uzbekistan is located in central Asia bordering Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan and coastline on the Aral Sea. The population is about 29 million people. The government is a presidential republic that is highly authoritarian with very little power outside the executive branch. A president is the chief of state and a prime minister is the head of government.
Uzbekistan was inhabited as far back as the Stone Age. The oldest and second-largest city is Samarkand, which was an important stop on Asian trading routes for more than 2500 years. In 1885, Russia annexed the regions then known as Turkestan. After the Russian Revolution in 1917, the country tried to establish a western-style democracy. However, in 1924, Soviets took over, and in 1925, the country was admitted to the Soviet Union. Uzbekistan gained independence in 1991.
The Uzbek government has begun a program for developing tourism, and Uzbekistan has potential to become a popular destination. Travellers will find ancient cities with interesting architecture, markets and bazaars, as well as UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Ichan Kala, the Historic Centre of Bukhara, the Historic Centre of Shakhrisyabz, and Samarkand Crossroads of Cultures.
