HOW THE STATE OF TAJIKISTAN WORKS?

Tajikistan has a unitary system of government, which means that political power is concentrated in the central government and distributed through administrative subdivisions within the country.

In terms of political division, Tajikistan is divided into provinces, also known as viloyats. Currently, the country consists of 2 autonomous provinces, 1 autonomous region, and 1 district of the capital, Dushanbe. 

As for Tajikistan's borders, the country has mainly geometric borders defined by international agreements and treaties, these borders are the result of historical and political processes and are not based on religious or ethnic divisions.

Tajikistan is considered a multinational state, as it is home to different ethnic groups and cultures. Although Tajiks are the dominant ethnic group, there are also communities of Uzbeks, Russians, Pamiris, Kyrgyz, and other minority ethnic groups. Tajikistan's constitution guarantees rights and protection to all ethnic communities in the country.

In terms of enmities, Tajikistan has no active military conflicts with other countries. However, it has faced transnational problems such as drug trafficking due to its strategic location near drug trafficking routes and unstable areas of Afghanistan, migration, management of shared water resources, and regional security cooperation.
