City

Quvasoy

Central Asia

Quvasoy is a city in the Fergana Region in eastern Uzbekistan. Administratively it is a district-level city that includes the urban-type settlement Sufon and six rural communities. Its population is 96,900 as of 2022 and it has an area of 264 square kilometres. It lies along the river Isfayramsay, close to the border with Kyrgyzstan. Quvasoy was formed in 1954 on the site of an urban-type settlement and was one of the places where deported Crimean Tatars were resettled. In 1989 it was one of the centres of violence of the Fergana massacre, with clashes between Meskhetian Turks and Uzbeks, and there are multiple military bases in the city. Uzbekistan is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia, so Quvasoy has no coast.
