Tajik people
During the time of Perestroika, the Yaghnobi people were able to return to their native land. However, since then the government has largely ignored this issue and has made little effort to restore the necessary socio-economic conditions for durable life in the valley or otherwise redress the wrongs inflicted on this community. The government, and other institutions, have sought to uncover the roots of the Tajik people in the Persian Empire and in other ancient civilizations, but have studiously ignored the place of the Yaghnob Valley, its people and its language in the history of this land.
