Which Qal'acha?

 * There seems to be at least three places with this name. List of enclaves and exclaves (falsely?) links to this article and describes Qalacha as a Tajik enclave inside Kyrgyzstan. According to Bradt Travel Guide to Kyrgyzstan, the Tajik enclave is north of Sokh about 80 miles east of this one. Google Earth locates another Qalacha in Afghanistan. See also Batken Province.


 * This refers to the Tajik enclave inside Kyrgyzstan. The enclave that is north of Sokh is an Uzbek enclave. Both are described here:
 * Kayragach (40.06806°N, 69.54472°W) is a very small exclave of Tajikistan, located in the northwest corner of the province near the railway station of Stantsiya Kayragach, about 130 kilometres west of Batken. The border separates it from the Tajik town of Qal'acha; hence it is sometimes called "Western Qal'acha."


 * Chon-Qora and Qalacha (not to be confused with Qal'acha), immediately north of So'x, are the two Uzbek villages within a very small enclave that lies on the Sokh River. It measures 2 kilometres long by 1 kilometre wide with an area of approximately 3 square kilometres.  It is part of the Sokh district of Fergana Province.  The villages of Chon-Qora (or, in Kyrgyz, Chongara) at 40.25083°N, 71.0375°W and Qalacha (40.23611°N, 71.03667°W) are at either end.
