Destination Batken

The village of Batken was formed in April 1934 as the regional center of the Batken region of the same name. In 1999, in order to improve the efficiency of managing these lands after a series of attacks by militants, the Batken region was formed from the 3 western districts of the Osh region with the administrative center - Batken. In connection with this, in 2000 Batken was given the status of a city and it became the administrative center of the region.
