The research on the toponymy of Urgench district and naming of geographical objects

The Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On the names of geographical objects” adopted on October 12, 2011 plays an important role in the legal regulation of relations in this area, the restoration of centuries-old traditions of our people. For centuries, it has played an important role in the economic, social and cultural life of the oasis in the Lower Amudarya region. In the second half of the 16th century, after the Amudarya changed its course and began to flow into the Aral Sea, the city of Gurganch (now Old Urgench) was left without water. That is why, the mass media, exhibition and advertising officials, and the general public need to be active in promoting large-scale work on the regulation of place names.
