History
During the 1920s the area was a hotbed for the Basmachi, the anti-Soviet resistance in Central Asia.[2][3] During the Civil War in Tajikistan from 1992 to 1997, the area was a hotbed for Islamist forces, and October 2010, the Tajik Interior Ministry asserted it had killed three militants nearby at Gharm amid an alleged rise in Islamic militancy in the region.[4][5]
