Tashkent, capital of Uzbekistan, former capital of Turkestan. This city played a significant role in the history of the Mennonites who migrated to Central Asia in 1880 ff. under the leadership of Claas Epp and Abraham Peters to find a refuge and establish new settlements. The Peters group resided here temporarily.

Under the Soviet government Tashkent has become a very significant center in Soviet Central Asia with a population of about one million by the late 1950s. Mennonites who had drifted to this area by this time had thus far not organized a church; some attended the Baptist services. Their number was likely not as large in this area as in Alma Ata, Karaganda, and some other places.
