Examples

“After having travelled along the Ala-Baital defile, and followed the course of the Uzbel-Su, the party reached the Uzbel Pass⟳, which separates the basin of the Kara-Kul from that of the Sary-Kol and Tarun-Gol.[...]The late M. Fedchenko disputed the existence of a meridional range on the east side of the Pamir, saying that Hayward had simply taken the abrupt side of the Pamir for a transverse mountain-range. Captain Kostenko, on the other hand, was impressed with its grandeur. It lies about 53 miles from the Uzbel Pass⟳, and beyond it lies Kashghar, 40 miles further.[...]Through lack of provisions, Captain Kostenko was unable to push⟳ on to the Sary-Kol and compelled to return⟳ by the Uzbel Pass⟳ and the little Chon-Su defile. On emerging from thence, one comes upon a point⟳ where three roads converge—one to Badakhshan, one to Kokand (over the Kizyl-Yart), and the other to Kash- ghar (over the Uzbel Pass⟳). The main force⟳ of the Alai column was rejoined at Archa-bulak, at the southern base⟳ of the Alai range. The whole distance marched by Captain Kostenko’s force⟳, from the mouth of the Kizyl-Yart defile to the Uzbel Pass⟳, was 90 miles.”

“In 1876 Kostenko, from the Uzbel Pass⟳, observed a great peak in this direction, the name⟳ of which was given to him as Mustagh Ata, i.e. Father of Ice Mountains.”

“If we open⟳ up the Atlas of the People's Republic of China we will find⟳ that the region of the Pamir, the western extremity of Xinjiang, from the Wuzibieli [Uzbel] Pass⟳¹ to the south down to the Kekelaqukaole Peak (which the Soviet Russians call⟳ "Pavel Shveikovsky Peak") is designated as a not limited area. However, on the present-day Soviet Russian maps that area is shown as delimited, i.e., provided with a formal state boundary.”

“After the resolution of the Tajik civil war, China and Tajikistan began to hold⟳ talks over disputed sectors. In October 1997, a week of talks at the vice-foreign ministerial level over the territorial dispute achieved “tangible progress⟳” and reached an agreement over the two smaller disputes. The Markansu Valley was divided evenly while China dropped its claim⟳ to the Uzbel Pass⟳ (map 2.5).”
