Answer:
The statement 'Ethnic-related disputes exist along every shared boundary in Central Asia because when the Soviets created the borders of their Central Asian and caucus republics, they paid little attention to where each region’s ethic group lived' is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
- The borders of the countries that priorly formed a part of the Soviet Union were hastily demarcated after the dissolution of the USSR in such a way that the ethnic groups living in the regions had to unwillingly become citizens of countries other than that of their origin.
- This has been causing ethnic disputes in the regions for a long time now.
