There are, as far as I know, six enclaves within Kyrgyzstan: two
Tajik ones (the ones mentioned), and four Uzbek ones. The confusion
comes, I think, from the fact that there are three Tajik enclaves:
two in Kyrgyzstan, and another one in Uzbekistan.
Barak is a Kyrgyz enclave in Uzbekistan, so the other way around.
Cf. the attached map at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/1538 (I didn't
know about Barak back then).
