Tajikistan is a land-locked Central Asian nation, formerly part of Soviet Union, with the capital Dushanbe.[1] Most of Tajikistan's 7 million citizens are Muslims.
The country went through a long civil war, when the Soviet Union collapsed. By 2002, it was the poorest of the Central Asian states. It joined the NATO Partnership for Peace.
Both the French and the Russians obtained the right to use Dushanbe as a base in 2002.
