I want to know the answer to the following question:
Where is the Fergana Valley located?
All the background I'm provided with is that "On June 23, 1989, Gorbachev removed Rafiq Nishonov as First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Uzbek SSR and replaced him with Karimov, who went on to lead Uzbekistan as a Soviet Republic and subsequently as an independent state.". Is that enough to answer the question?
