1865—oblast within the Steppe Governor-Generalship, ruled from Orenburg;

1867—reorganized into a Governor-Generalship, subdivided into two oblasts, Syr-Darya and Semirechie.

[edit] Merging with the "Transcaspian Region" Article

Certainly not. Transcaspia was governed from Tiflis until 1898 and hence not part of Russian Turkestan. Thereafter it was only one Oblast among five, (the others being Syr-Darya, Samarkand, Semirechie and Ferghana) all of which require equal treatment. If "Transcaspian Region" is to be merged with anything it ought to be the article on "Turkmenistan", as it is essentially the same area. (Sikandarji 20:51, 8 September 2005 (UTC))

Agree with above post. This article is about a historical region not just geographic one. It should be left as it is. Fisenko 05:29, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Oppose a merge. LuiKhuntek 00:01, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
