	Fergana Valley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fergana Valley or Ferghana Valley Uzbek: Farg‘ona vodiysi, Kyrgyz: Фергана өрөөнү, Tajik: водии Фaрғонa, Russian: Ферганская долина, Persian: وادی فرغا نہ) is a region in the Tian Shan mountain ranges of Central Asia spreading across eastern Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
		Under the Khans of Kokand in the 18th century the valley formed the nucleus of an independent khanate, whilst later under Russian rule in the 19th century Ferghana was a province to itself, with large areas of the Pamirs included.
		During the 8th century, Ferghana was the location of fierce rivalry between the Tang Dynasty of China and the expansion of Muslim power, leading to the Battle of Talas in 751, which marked the victory of Islam and the disengagement of China from Central Asia.

		The Ferghana Valley is critical region for Central Asia as a whole, and what happens in the Ferghana Valley—for better or worse—has widespread ramifications for the region as a whole.
		The Ferghana Valley is a potential source for regional instability, due to its ethnic diversity, the highly concentrated and growing population including a high percentage of youth, high rates of unemployment and widespread economic stress, complex borders in a region occupied by parts of three newly sovereign states, and its recent history of tensions.
		Within the Ferghana Valley, three states have territories which are closely inter-linked and the borders between them cross-cut transportation routes, population groups and economic resources, and so resolution of common problems requires close collaboration which has often been absent since independence.
