Rasht Valley

Rasht Valley

The Rasht Valley ( _tg. Водии Рашт) is an administrative and geographic unit of Tajikistan comprising the six districts of Jirgital, Garm, Ragoun, Tavildara, Tajikabad and Nurabad. Historically the Rasht Valley has been called Karotegin or Karategin. During the 1992-1997 Tajikistan Civil War the region was a strong hold for opposition forces in Tajikistan and numerous battles were fought there. Four members of the United Nations Mission of Observers in Tajikistan were murdered in the Garm district in 1998.
