The Fergana pogroms happened in 1989, after riots broke out between the Meskhetian Turks exiled in Uzbekistan and the native Uzbeks. Hundreds of Meskhetian Turks were killed or injured, around 1,000 properties were destroyed and tens of thousands of Meskhetian Turks fled to other Soviet republics.
Over 100 people were killed in the pogroms, and over 1,000 were wounded and 752 houses destroyed. The pogrom has been described as "one of the worst rounds of ethnic violence in the former Soviet Union" and received considerable international attention.
It is not to be confused with the pogrom in 1990 that targeted Jews and Armenians.
