Qorasuv, also written Korasuv or Karasu, is a city in Qoʻrgʻontepa District of Andijan Region in eastern Uzbekistan, about 50 km from Andijan. The name means black water in Uzbek, from qora, black, and suv, water. It lies in the Fergana Valley along the border with Kyrgyzstan and is essentially one town with Kara-Suu in Kyrgyzstan, separated from it by a Soviet-era border that is tightly controlled today. Qorasuv was the second town in Uzbekistan to be sealed off during the Andijan massacre in spring 2005, when some 6,000 people fled across the border. A border town, it is an important market town, especially for cottonseed oil trading. Its population is 33,000 as of 2016.
