Uzbekistan was determined to prevent the construction of a gigantic dam and power plant at Roghun in central Tajikistan. Tashkent argued that the dam would severely affect Uzbek irrigated agriculture by depriving crops of water during the filling of an enormous reservoir, an assertion denied by Tajikistan. Although Tajikistan had agreed to an Uzbek demand for a feasibility study of the project to be carried out by international experts, at the beginning of the year Uzbekistan started delaying the transit of Tajikistan-bound railroad cars across its territory. The objective of the action, unofficially admitted by Uzbek authorities, was to disrupt construction at Roghun, but the action resulted in a major disruption to parts of the Tajik economy. The area that suffered the worst was the southern region, where supplies of fertilizer, seeds, and fuel for spring agricultural work failed to arrive. Tajik rail authorities appealed to the international community for help, but Uzbek rail authorities denied that the action was deliberate, insisting that it was connected to repair works on the lines to Tajikistan. When Iranian businessmen began to complain to their government that their construction projects, including a power plant to which Uzbekistan had had no objections, were being affected by the nondelivery of supplies, Iran made strong appeals to the Uzbek government but without result. At the end of the year, the situation had not been resolved, and Tajik railway officials reported that for most of the year, more than 1,000 rail cars were still stranded in Uzbekistan.|
