- Note
- "Khatlon Region (Tajik: Вилояти Хатлон, Viloyati Xatlon; Russian: Хатлонская область, Khatlonskaya oblast), one of the four provinces of Tajikistan (Tajik: вилоят, Viloyat; Russian: область, Oblast) is the most populous of the four first level administrative regions. It is situated in the southwest of the country, between the Hisor (Gissar) Range in the north and the river Panj in the south and borders on Afghanistan in the southeast and on Uzbekistan in the west. During Soviet times, Khatlon was divided into Kurgan-Tyube (Qurghonteppa) Oblast (Western Khatlon) – with the Kofarnihon and Vakhsh river valleys – and Kulob Oblast (Eastern Khatlon) – with the Kyzylsu and Yakhsu river valleys. Both regions were merged in November 1992 into today´s Khatlon Region (or viloyat/oblast). The capital city is Bokhtar, formerly known as Qurghonteppa and Kurgan-Tyube." - (en.wikipedia.org 19.12.2021)
