If you want to revive the Shaybanid empire, you can even claim some parts of eastern Iran but Shaybak Khan, the founder of this Uzebk empire, was badly defeated by Shah Ismail, the founder of Safavid empire. -------------

The notion of laying claim to occupied territories isn't rational at all. Once you ruled a certain quantity of land, does it ever belong to you? Once you got kicked out of your homeland, you have to strive harder to take down the invaders through conflict instead of claiming your homeland. The local inhabitants of a certain terrain might be evacuated/immigrate to somewhere else for some reason. It doesn't necessarily mean they will turn back. |

Alish, Qandaysiz birardar?
This is not the age for empires and conquests, the best option would be for Ozbekistan to form a union with the other Turkic states and Kirgizistan or Afganistan, similar to the EU model, countries retain sovereignty but are part of a supra-union. ------------- What we do for ourselves dies with us.

Union like EU never works, there should be one system....... in terms of the topic i think i wasn't very good at choice of words...... I meant that the large portion of population in Turkmenistan, Kyrgiz and esp. Tajikstan and S. Kazakhstan are uzbeks....... and they live without equal rights - nasty thing that kind of treatment to those that are higher skilled, educated uzbeks who CAN DO SOMETHING......
I am kind a interested in analysis of ethnic situation in the region and the weird thing is that uzbeks are in a pissed off position ..... Uzbekistan itself having infrastructural problems - irrigation, transportation, trade of goods and services due to this demorcation mess up..... it is clearly russian interference that to dived the nation and rule them which is happening these days (russian soldiers in Kyrg. and Tajikst.), and if any circumstances kazakhs' destiny is in russians' will(historically)...... and turkmens are in complete different 'dimension' lifestyle...... I believe that it would be great for all in the region that if Uzbekistan had metal for automobile and aviation industry, irrigation condition & farming land for agriculture, light industry itself is good but there should be easy access to the world market (which is one of the problems for uzbeks), military is not bad..... damn that kind of country i was talking about......!!! Currency would be strong, more investment and so on, you know........ take Kazakhstan, like arab countries, everything completely depends on oil and natural resources sale....... rather than being like disadvantage nation to others like russians, chinese or even iranians (possibly pretty soon) why not to build something ourselves.......
Uyg'on uzbek, uyg'on !

Micro-nationalism won't achieve much, the Central Asian states have enough resources between them to be self sufficient if they work together, working together is the way forward. These borders are artificial, most people in the region are muslim, Turkic and Iranic if they form a union human rights in general for all groups could improve. The main problem is the leaders, they care more about their position on the throne than the benefit of their people. ------------- What we do for ourselves dies with us.

Uzbeks should buy water in order to maintain its agriculture that causing food prices to increase, lack of oil for industry in uzbekistan and young country can not afford high prices for energy, transportation issues for export first of all........ the one who has water knows shit about agriculture, other than hating..... cause some people forgot who they were, you know, probably time to remember...... cooperation is always the best option, but there should be the way out since the cooperation is not working, the one can not cooperate with everybody...... how about internal conflict ??? and only uzbeks can keep peace in the region, and central asians have their own cultural background, muslim religion is not the factor, there is central asian spirit, probably you don't understand or feel that..... central asians are muslims but it is in harmony with tangrism, zaraotranism and many many cultural elements ...... there are some rituals that are performed during weddings or other major events that are unique to land of Transoxiana inherited throughout the ages.... spirit is different dude!

Sounds very nice word, well, it is not notion for OCCUPIED territories at all, the area - CA surrounding the heartland between rivers are the uzbek lands, ca countries, south kazakhstan, north of afghanistan.....
You mean who was kicked out from where, everybody is pretty much there..... I was mentionin about the people that lived and live in cities, villages, who built states and so on, the majority of other nations in ca never saw a paper until recently, and btw there is tajiks which is very complex part. Tajik means 'inhabitants converted into muslim' from arabs.... but only the city inhabitants.... a lots of things to talk man.....
I can see your location is in Smyrna.... never been there all i know I ve read stories about some crusaders in Smyrna, maybe i am a little wrong, but i appreciate your words....

Uniting as one nation can cause more problems than solve them, in my opinion a union of states is the most practical option as the countries will still have autonomy but also unity.
I have relatives in the region birardar  Ozbekistan is the heart of Turkistan but cannot just act alone, working together is better than working against each other, the whole region is inter-connected. Just focusing on Oz'beks limits options, national heroes like Amir Timur, Ali Shir Nava'i... etc were not "Oz'beks" but this doesn't mean they arn't the forefathers of the people. They were all muslim and Turkic, if you include Iranics aswel this becomes more inclusive, more likely not to cause conflict and more agreeable to people. Micro-nationalism like Oz'beks or Kazaks trying to be better than each other won't solve anything, it just antagonising the other, promoting the muslim and Turkic and Iranic connections brings people closer together and the region collectively benefits from unity. ------------- What we do for ourselves dies with us.

Well, union of state, here again, it depends what the structure, the power balance... is it some sort of federation, or third reigh (structurally only) .... in that case there is gonna be one chief government.... this can cause ethnic conflicts as every ethnicity will push their own to superior levels..... i think it could be possible to create some other identity for all nations that would suite everybody's ideal national identity and be confident. damn who knows.... how about Sogdiana.. hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another option would be economical integration....... i am afraid this is not going to work..... there are several issues..... Tajikistan has bad economic conditions, no infrastructure... Turkmenistan went too far in different structural model that is not like any in the world, it is phenomenal btw.
Kazakhstan is experiencing trade balance issues, deeply relies on the west, it is just simple thing about trade, produce something and exchange it to something else, kazakhs put their natural resources, and build illusionous financial market backed with oil, tenge rate increases when oil prices are high, it goes down problem..... no body needs tenge if no oil.... how about infrastructure - transportation- railroads, undergrounds, research centers, universities, sport, entertainment and etc. Honestly i need some reliable sources about the projects in Kazakhstan...... anyway my guess is the country still has opportunities...... but, there is issue, no integration......
I am glad to hear that.... well, in terms of spirit i wanted to say that uzbeks don't really have kind of mentality as all muslims like middle east or iran, i am sure you understand that and it is because of nations' own background...... it is too much talk... sorry.
and i am from Samarkand province, studied in Samarkand and Tashkent cities...
I am not sure about uzbeks trying better, if there is some issues in cooperations, it is because of the MONEY..... welth or whatever.... but what pisses me off that many kazakhs are in bad mood about uzbeks in everything..... in terms of discussion of some article in different websites... and the worst is Nazarbaev mentioned about regional leader thing.... i mean.... that was not something a President says...... I mean, i think you understand that.... it was not smart words....! but what's the heck, he is just a moron!!!!!

 Oz'bekistan is the cultural center of Turkistan and always has been, it would be the ideal leader in the region. However, a deal won't work with one side been given more power than the other. Instead there should be some economic and pollitical integrations while the states remain independant and sovereign but work together on important issues instead of against each other which helps nobody. The biggest problem in the region is that leaders think they are kings and don't really want the countries to advance too much as people will become more wealthy and will get powerful and question their power. The leaders need to stop being selfish and start working together, there is everything in the region, water, oil, gas, rich natural resources etc but all in different countries so some go without, if there was intergration there would be loss of a problem. ------------- What we do for ourselves dies with us.

No wonder it is.... human factor... that's all about it...... i believe it was never like that where people had a power in CA region in all history..... the core part of it is trust to each other, not just only between the government, but every individual to each other as a citizens of the same country.... there is no respect to each other, no respect to laws, everybody can change their words which does not mean anything and etc. However uzbekistan is pretty much trying to change the youth, like Temur's words 'strengh is in honor' can be found in any parts of the country. But these types of phsychological nourishment can work only to the next generation, but the current generation is nothing but the same stalinistic dogma...... in all aspects....

I think Bull Dog and others are right! They could not retake that land without violence. I am sure the Mexicans, Native Americans and other groups want their land back also. Some Greeks want Constanbionple back but this is not a reality. ------------- Λοιπόν, αδελφοί και οι συμπολίτες και οι στρατιώτες, να θυμάστε αυτό ώστε μνημόσυνο σας, φήμη και ελευθερία σας θα ε |

The examples were not very good for the topic, but you are right its not reality in modern world order environment. But economic war may give some results. I think uzbeks have long run plans in gaining full dominance in the region in all aspects - economically, politically, and spiritually. One of the biggest problems is geographic condition. But the peace in Afghanistan would resolve the issue.
thank you.

Alish, its best to put aside the differences, the people living in Central Asia historically are mostly Iranic, Turkic and majority muslim, Ozbekistan isn't going to conquer all of Central Asia and it would be a wasted effort doing so. If the region gets on well then peoples rights will improve aswel and there will be no need to cause conflict and war in order to improve the rights of people in the region. Regional co-operation is the way forward, when borders become less sensitive everybody can go anywhere anyway. ------------- What we do for ourselves dies with us.

Hi Alish :) Regarding your first question: Central Asia was not dear Uzbeks' mother land. Turkic and Mongolian tribes (Iranians were not native to Central Asia either) INVADED the region. So you can't make claims such as "taking back our territory". Specially in this case, Turkmens are even before you here, because Seljuks conquered all Central Asia, Iran, Turkey, a big part of Iraq and Arabic-speaking lands long time before the tribal unity "Uzbek" took over a few hundred years ago. Seljuks helped the globalisation process in their time by forming a secure space and a good platform for social works: Iran's greatest cultural and scientific achievements (poets, famous ministers, scientists) occured during Seljuks' reign, Central Asian-Iranian relationship increased at that era and so forth - long before the name "Uzbek". There comes also Khwarazmids that is a Turkmen-Kiptchak dynasty. You see Kazakhs, Turkmens and Kyrgizes have their own culture and they certainly did contribute to the region a lot - if not more than Uzbeks. Why do you say they "are inclined to wildness"? Because they have preserved their old steppe traditions in a better way than Uzbeks (if the name "Uzbek" has any steppe feeling)? Second, you can never prove Uzbeks are "the most educated" people in CA by saying Kazakhs, Kyrgizes and Turkmens "are inclined to wildness", for this is not culture my friend :) For me, a Kyrgiz, Turkmen or Kazak is quite more friendly than an Uzbek. Specially in religion: they are much more peaceful than Uzbeks when it comes to religion. It's not only about me, the question is that: why in Kazakhstan, Kyrgizstan and Turkmenistan, there are always problems with Uzbeks? They don't have a good fame in Russia either. It makes sense. Do you want to say the problem is on their side - because "they are inclined to wildness" - and not on Uzbeks? Because they are living in "a complete different dimension"? You are not the first or the only Uzbek I have seen to make such claims - "take our lands back", "the most educated", etc. And as long as you do so, we will never see Central Asian unity. öl-gyn natsionalizm, öl-gyn. ------------- Möňke Taňri-niň Küçü Bile |

As the Kazakh I was shocked by ambitions of Uzbeks. I think that Uzbeks should teach well about true position of Uzbeks and to understand that the mood can change brotherly intentions of the Turkic states. This person speaks about what Uzbek earth - not clearly. Listed regions all above are not Uzbek. In southern Kazakhstan over 60 % lives Kazakhs. When they were the Uzbek earths? There is both Slavs and other nations. Earlier I thought that Uzbeks are glad to our level of development. However envy ruins them. I am disappointed in them and I can change the opinion towards other countries. As have shown comments Russian, Kirghiz and Turkmans with the big respect concern us. To the same Bukhara and Samarkand are the Tadjik cities, and Karakalpakstan is the separate earth. Tashkent was 200-400 years ago capital of the Kazakh khans. But nevertheless we never showed such arrogance and not respect for neighbors. |

I came here out of interest in learning more about my own ancestral and family heritage, not to engage in this type of discussion, but determined to create an account and respond to this post. I am a native-born American of mixed European and Asian descent. My Y-DNA is Haplogroup G, and my mtDNA is Haplogroup D. These are both well represented in Central Asia, thus making me a far-distant ancestral cousin to Uzbeks and other Central Asian nations. My wife was born and raised in southern Kazakhstan. Her mother is Uzbek, and her father is Kazakh. So I am also a contemporary in-law to Uzbeks and other Central Asian nations. I have been to Almaty and Zhambyl regions of Kazakhstan. Many of my in-laws are still there. I am familiar with some of the issues that exist between Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan regarding water rights, oil and gas, etc. I understand there are issues there with resources and infrastructure that were developed during Soviet time and then divided up arbitrarily. I also know that ethnic Uzbeks have been displaced by ethnic conflicts in Kyrgyzstan within the past year. So my point in posting these things is to stress to any Uzbek or other nation with these thoughts of national superiority and conquest of Central Asia... I am your brother by blood and marriage, and I sympathize with your plight, but please do not follow this path of destruction that is being proposed here. I agree with what other posters have said, that a federation of Central Asian states, with more open borders and mutually beneficial resource arrangements, is the path to improving life for all people of Central Asia, while still preserving national and cultural identities. It's fine to have pride in your national heritage, not fine to demean others and speak of conquering them based on some presumed national birthright.

Okay you have made a statement, now back it up. Produce sources, credible sources peer reviewed.

Uzbeks also came from another bigger tribe as the name says itself; Uzbek means "its own boss" So Uzbeks were a small fraction of a bigger tribe who made themselfs independent. If you start to talk like this I can say only one thing; give Uzbekistan back to the Persians and go together with Kazaks and Kyrgyz to the steppe's of North-Kazakhstan and Mongolia. There was no such thing as The Uzbek Empire.
