And some people in the photo are obviously Russians. This is what Wikipedia says about the population of Uzbekistan:

Quote:
According to official sources, Uzbeks comprise a majority (80%) of the total population. Other ethnic groups include Russians 5.5%, Tajiks 5%, Kazakhs 3%, Karakalpaks 2.5%, and Tatars 1.5%
What I understand are Tajiks of Iranian origin and speak persian, while Uzbeks, Kazakhs and Tajiks are turkic ethnic groups. Some people in this thread have a slightly mongolic look I think.
