Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Re: News about Barak (the Kyrgyz' exclave)

This very interesting document http://www.crisisweb.org/projects/asia/centralasia/reports/A400606_040 42002.pdf gives the count as a very precise 627 *households* - but, then 1,500 people would be too *small* a number! Grant

Thank's for posting this VERY INTERESTING report from ICG!

At page 4-5 (9-10 as .pdf-pages) it says:
"Kyrgyzstan hosts seven enclaves: two belong to Tajikistan - Varukh, with a population of some 30,000, and a very small one north of Isfana - the remainder to Uzbekistan,[...]" wich would be 5, right? But at page 14 (19) it says: "Four enclaves within Kyrgyzstan - all Uzbekistan territory[...]" So, in the first statement, do they refer to Barak as the 5th (7th) enclave, or is there an enclave we don't know about? ________________________ Christian Berghänel Sweden christian.berghanel@...
