>Dear Colleagues,

>I wonder whether anyone can provide information about recent
>developments regarding international boundaries in Central Asia. I
>am interested in the boundaries separating Uzbekistan-Kyrgyzstan,
>Uzbekistan-Kazakhstan , Uzbekistan-Tajikistan and
>Tajikistan-Kyrgyzstan. Polat's book"Boundary issues in Central Asia"
>provides an excellent account up to 2002.
>
>Alas he seems to have disappeared!
>
>I have one other question. The translation of the Sino-Russian
>document dealing with the Amur-Ussuri confluence is rather densely
>written! I have contacted the Russian and Chinese Embassies in
>Canberra, but no answer is the stern reply. I wonder whether anyone
>has worked out whether the large island at the confluence was
>allocated to one or the other country, or divided.
>
>Sincerely,
>
>Victor
