Until 2013, through Samarkandyk passed strategic road Batken-Isfana. In 2013, etnical conflict between enclave of Tadjikistan, Voruh and Samarkandyk led to mutual closing of borders. As Batken-Isfana road passed through Voruh also, government officials started to build a detouring road which would lay entirely in Kyrgyzstan borders. This latter event left Samarkandyk off the road.
