Uzbekistan has such untapped potential. Its a shame that the Russians succeeded in giving it Sevres type borders.

Great Empires rose from those lands once, but they have gutted it to be a landlocked state, dependent on surrounding states.

Absolutely. The Uzbeks are like the wild card in Central Asia. They're not as influenced by Russia and are generally super friendly and warm. While Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan have traditionally caught the attention of many Turks, there's been a noticeable change lately. Nowadays, more folks are leaning towards Uzbekistan over Kazakhstan.

I have many friends who've visited Uzbekistan or planning to do so.
