The countries located in this region have many common cultural and historical characteristics. Once the Great Silk Road passed through it, which passed through such old cities as Samarkand, Bukhara, Khojent, Tashkent, Khiva, etc. The dominant religion of the region for many centuries has been Islam.

In the nineteenth century, the entire territory of the region became part of the Russian Empire, and later – part of the USSR, which caused the appearance of a non-Muslim population in the countries of the region.

After the collapse of the USSR, Evangelical Christianity began to spread in the region. In each of the countries of the region, the position and number (on average 0.5% of the total population) of Christian communities differs depending on the political and economic situation.
