Qyzylorda Region (Template:Lang-kk, IPA: [qəˌzəɫorˈdɑ wobɫəˈsə]; Template:Lang-ru), formerly known as Kyzyl-Orda Region until 1991, is a region of Kazakhstan. Its capital is the city of Qyzylorda, with a population of 234 736. The region itself has a population of 823 251. Other notable settlements include Aral, Kazaly (Kazalinsk) and the Russian-administered Baikonur, which services the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The total area of the province is 226,000 square kilometers (87,000 sq mi).

Geography

The Qyzylorda Region shares a border with the neighboring country of Uzbekistan. It is bound as well by three other regions of Kazakhstan: Aktobe Region to the west, Ulytau Region to the north and Turkistan Region to the east. The Lesser Barsuki and Aral Karakum deserts are located in the region. The main lakes are Zhaksykylysh, Kamyslybas and Arys. The Syr Darya River, flowing from the Tian Shan mountains to the Aral Sea, passes through Qyzylorda Region.[4]

Demographics

As of 2020, Qyzylorda Region has a population of 803,531.[5]

Due to historical reasons, the percentage of Russians in Qyzylorda Region is the smallest, and the percentage of Kazakhs is the largest among all regions of Kazakhstan. Before the construction of the Baikonur cosmodrome, the region was the only one where there were no places of compact residence of the Russian-speaking population.
