Secession
Secession (from Latin: sēcessiō, lit. 'a withdrawing') is a term and a concept which is used in reference to the formal withdrawal of a group from a political entity.

In international law, secession is understood as a process in which an integral part of a state's territory unilaterally withdraws without the consent of the original state.

The process begins once a group proclaims an act of secession (such as a declaration of independence). A secession attempt might be violent or peaceful, but the goal is the creation of a new state or entity independent of the group or territory from which it seceded. Threats of secession can be a strategy for achieving more limited goals. There is some academic debate about this definition, and in particular how it relates to separatism.

Tort-Kocho
Tort-Kocho (Kyrgyz: Төрт-Көчө; Tajik: Қитъаи Чоркӯча) is a neutral zone between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. As part of the 2025 delimitation of the Kyrgyzstan–Tajikistan border, the 10 m (33 ft) wide roadbed and a 15 m (49 ft) "security zone" were declared neutral territory, with Kyrgyzstani politician Kamchybek Tashiev saying the road will not belong to "either the Kyrgyz or Tajik side".

Tort-Kocho is an area where the major roads intersect. In that place the main road from Isfara to the Vorukh enclave in Tajikistan and the main road from Batken to Razzakov in Kyrgyzstan intersect. Prior to 2025, both the Kyrgyz and Tajikistani considered the road part of their sovereign territory. The road was contested during the 2021 Kyrgyzstan–Tajikistan clashes when Tajik administrators blocked the Osh–Batken–Isfana road demanding the Tort-Kocho road be unblocked by Kyrgyzstan.

2021 Kyrgyzstan–Tajikistan clashes
A three-day border conflict between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan began on 28 April 2021. The clashes stemmed from a long-running dispute over a water supply facility near the village of Kök-Tash. Tajikistani media raised some concern over military drills in Batken prior to the conflict.
