Residents of the village of Kara-Zhantak, formerly part of Uzbekistan’s Fergana Region, have officially received ownership documents for 295 residential buildings. The settlement was transferred to the jurisdiction of Kyrgyzstan in 2024 following the conclusion of bilateral state border delimitation and demarcation agreements.
Key Takeaways: According to the presidential envoy's office in Kyrgyzstan's Batken Region, local officials distributed the property titles. Approximately 1,200 people currently reside in Kara-Zhantak, having previously been issued Kyrgyz national identity documents.
At the same time, the regional authorities are undertaking efforts to develop local infrastructure and upgrade living standards in the area. Construction of a 14-kilometer water pipeline worth 38 million soms has commenced in the village. Furthermore, a project valued at 316 million soms has been prepared to supply residents with irrigation water for agricultural needs.
Plans also include the construction of essential social infrastructure. A land plot of 1.76 hectares has been allocated for a new school, while 0.6 hectares have been designated for a kindergarten. These initiatives are being implemented as part of a broader government program to integrate and develop the newly transferred territories.
It is worth recalling that two other settlements previously administered within Uzbekistan's Fergana Region—Chongara and Tash-Tobo—have also officially become part of Kyrgyzstan, involving approximately 2,500 residents. In exchange, the Kyrgyz side transferred equivalent border land plots to Uzbekistan.
