History

During the Soviet era, Khatlon became one of the two main cotton regions in Tajikistan. A soviet (сове́т, "council" originally was a workers' local council in late Imperial Russia. The other one is in Sughd (Leninabad). Sughd ( Tajik: Суғд ( Sogdiana) is one of the four administrative divisions and one of the three provinces (вилоятҳо viloyatho Collectivisation of agriculture was implemented aggressively in the early 1930s, to expand the extent of cotton cultivation in Tajikistan as a whole, with particular emphasis on the southern part of the republic. The process included violations against peasants, substantial expansion of the irrigation network, and forcible resettlement of mountain peoples and people from Uzbekistan to the lowlands. Irrigation is an artificial application of water to the soil usually for assisting in growing crops Uzbekistan, officially the Republic of Uzbekistan ( Uzbek: O‘zbekiston Respublikasi or Ўзбекистон Республикаси is a doubly [1]

The results of this policy are to be seen in the ethnic composition of Salua oblast as well as in the fact that the Tajik population identifies themselves either as Gharmis (resettled from the mountains) or Kulobis. The Gharmi, or Garmi people (Ғармӣ originate from the Rasht Valley in central Tajikistan. The Kulobi people, also spelt Kulyabi or Kulabi, are the inhabitants of the southwest area of Tajikistan. These groups never melted, and fought against each other during the Civil War in Tajikistan. The civil war in Tajikistan ( Tajik: Ҷанги шаҳрвандии Тоҷикистон, Jangi shahrvandii Tojikiston) began in May 1992 when Khatlon oblast suffered the heaviest damage in Tajikistan.

Since the conflicts leading to the civil war were never really resolved, tensions in the region still exist. The eastern part – Kulob – is home to the president and his clan and has thus gained a lot of political influence. Kulob Oblast was an administrative subdivision in Tajikistan until 1992 The President of Tajikistan is the Head of State and highest position within the Government of Tajikistan. During Soviet times, the region cooperated with the then ruling elite from Leninabad, and was responsible for the militia, the army and the security forces. Kulob is regarded as a very conservative region. Kulob Oblast was an administrative subdivision in Tajikistan until 1992 In the capital Qurghonteppa and parts of Kulob, the Islamic opposition has a lot of support among the Garmis. Qurghonteppa Oblast was an administrative subdivision in Tajikistan For other meanings including people named 'Islam' see Islam (disambiguation.
