    Hi Ibrahim,
    It’s always interesting to learn about the hometown of people you communicate with. It’s one of the ways to know them better. You say that
    people of 40 nationalities live in Isfara. I wonder what their religions are?
    And are there any conflicts based on this diversity?

    Dear Julia,

    Thank you for questions. As Tajikistan was one of the former Soviet republics, here Russian, Germans, Tartars, Uzbeks, Kyrgyzs and other nationalities live and work.

    Yes, of course, we had conflicts just after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but nowadays people live in Peace.
