Conservation and Conflict in the Central Asian Silk Roads
The aim of this paper is to give a description of recent trends in heritage management and conservation in central Asia. Five countries, which became independent from the USSR in 1991, are considered: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. This relatively little-known region provides scope for analysing diverse approaches to philosophical and ethical conservation issues. Three case studies are described: the Bibi Khanum Mosque (Samarkand, Uzbekistan), the Aisha Bibi Mausoleum (Taraz, Kazakhstan) and the Burana Minaret (Kyrgyzstan).
Several projects in the area were carried out by UNESCO with the financial support of the Japanese Funds-in-Trust for the Preservation of World Cultural Heritage. The final section of this paper is a synthesis of the pioneering role of UNESCO in implementing conservation projects, assisting the central Asian countries in the management, preservation and conservation of cultural heritage through the provision of training to national experts and craftsmen.
