I wrote about one of the most important and greatest rivers in Central Asia – the Amu Darya River, maybe, today it is the time to write about another big river, the second biggest river in Central Asia, and it is the Syr Darya River. Well, this river also is very long, its length amounts to about two thousand and two hundred kilometres, well, of course, it is the second biggest river in Central Asia region after Amu Darya whose length amounts to about two thousand and four hundred kilometres (2 400 km). Well, the Syr Darya River, like the Amu Darya River, also is crossing the territories of four Central Asian countries, such as Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan; and they are, of course, not the same territories of countries where Amy Darya flows, and they, you know, are Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Well, as quite often I need to write, the Syr Darya River also starts in the Tian Shan Mountains area which is located in the Kyrgyz Republic, and elevation of their highest point is about six hundred metres, therefore, this mountainous area has almost the same elevation as the Pamir Mountains which lies north of the Tian Shan Mountains. The Tian Shan Mountains occupy a part of Kyrgyzstan, China, Mongolia and the Republic of Uzbekistan. So, looking at geographical maps of the Central Asia Region one can see that the Syr Darya River starts from the top of the Tian Shan Mountains area in the central part of the Kyrgyz Republic, then runs to the western part of the Central Asia, through Kyrgyzstan territory, after that turning south and crossing some northern areas of Tajikistan, namely, the Sughd Region, and especially near Khujand town which is located near the Uzbekistan border, thus, in the Northwest part of the Republic of Tajikistan. After that the Syr Darya River changes its direction, and turns to the Northwest part of the Central Asia and flows through the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan, from southeast to northwest where it flows into the Aral Sea. So, this river covers a large part of Central Asia region where especially cotton is cultivated which is, of course, the most valuable agricultural crop in Central Asia, and, of course, it refers to Uzbekistan, and, of course, there are vast areas occupied by cotton cultivated fields. So, as usual it can be, the Syr Darya River flows with a higher speed in the Kyrgyz Republic, especially near the Tian Shan Mountains where the river starts, and then goes to the north-western parts of Central Asia region, to the Aral Sea where the Syr Darya runs into; and speed of Syr Darya waters is no so fast there. So, as you know, the river length amounts to two thousand and two hundred kilometres (2 200) km, and, together with the Amu Darya River it is one of the biggest rivers in Central Asia region. So, of course, Syr Darya plays the same important role as Amu Darya in every respect of life in this region including economic, social, cultural, historical and maybe also demographic sphere. Well, but if you want to know, the Syr Darya River, of course, also flows not on a large area of the Republic of Tajikistan, and is the boundary river between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, it touches the Sughd Region of the Republic of Tajikistan, runs through Khujand town, the administrative capital of that province. But it is also quite necessary to write something about main river sources of Syr Darya. Well, one of
