Moscow (JTA) — The con-
tinuing fighting in the ex-
Soviet republic of Ta-
jikistan has raised concern
..over the fate of the
estimated 10,000 Jews liv-
ing there.
Israel has managed to get
four planeloads of Tajik
Jews out of the country in
• recent weeks, but major
r. logistical and political prob-
' lems are preventing any
large-scale evacuation, ac
cording to a senior Israeli of-
ficial here.
As a result, only a few
hundred Jews have made it
out of the country.
Compounding the problem
• is that despite the heavy
• fighting among rival Tajik
clans, "most Jews there do
not want to leave now," said
the Israeli official.
The fighting has left the
former Soviet Union's
poorest and most remote re-
public virtually cut off from
the outside world. Ta-
• jikistan's main road and rail
links are to neighboring
Uzbekistan, which cut those
links several weeks ago to
prevent the fighting from
• spreading across its borders.
Road links to the other ex-
,
) Soviet republic which
"- __borders on Tajikistan,
Kyrgyzstan, lead through
difficult mountainous ter-
rain. Tajikistan's remaining
borders are with
Afghanistan and China.
The lack of feasible land
routes led the Israeli effort
to focus on an airlift, said the
source. But the airlift itself
has been hampered by prob-
lems at the airport in
Dushanbe, the Tajik capital,
where some commercial
flights from Moscow and
other ex- Soviet cities are
still landing.
In addition to the risk of
violence, the refugees have
faced severe customs restric-
tions on the belongings they
may export, leading to long
delays prior to departure.
At present, the airport au-
thorities are not imposing
any kind of exit fee or tax,
but that may change. "We're
afraid they (the local au-
thorities) may get that
.idea," said the source.
The majority of Tajik Jews
are Bukharan Jews, who are
largely viewed by the non-
Jewish population as in-
digenous. The Ashkenazic
minority consists mostly of
Jews who came to Tajikistan
during the period of Soviet
power.
