Samarkandek

Samarkandek (Kyrgyz: Самаркандек, Russian: Самаркандык, romanized: Samarkandyk)[1] is a village in Batken Region of Kyrgyzstan.

It is the seat of the Samarkandek rural community (айыл аймагы, ayyl aymagy) within the Batken District.

In 2013, ethnic conflict between enclave of Tajikistan, Vorukh and Samarkandyk led to mutual closing of borders.

As Batken-Isfana road passed through Voruh also, government officials started to build a detouring road which would lay entirely in Kyrgyzstan borders.
