Samarkandek (Kyrgyz: Самаркандек, Russian: Самаркандык, romanized: Samarkandyk)[1] is a village in Batken Region of Kyrgyzstan. It is the seat of the Samarkandek rural community (айыл аймагы, ayyl aymagy) within the Batken District.[2] Its population was 8,015 in 2021.[3]
Until 2013, the strategic road Batken-Isfana passed through Samarkandek. In 2013, ethnic conflict between enclave of Tajikistan, Vorukh and Samarkandyk led to mutual closing of borders. As Batken-Isfana road passed through Voruh also, government officials started to build a detouring road which would lay entirely in Kyrgyzstan borders. This latter event left Samarkandyk off the road.
