Khalmion (Kyrgyz: Халмион) is a village in Kadamjay District, Batken Region in south-west Kyrgyzstan, sitting practically on the border with Uzbekistan's Fergana Region. The village lies just to the west of a tiny enclave (40°12′01″N 71°39′43″E / 40.20028°N 71.66194°E / 40.20028; 71.66194) belonging to Uzbekistan, less than 1 km2 in area and known also as Khalmion, or alternately as Jani-Ayil or Jangy-ayyl. This enclave is located north-northwest of another Uzbek enclave (Shakhimardan). The Kyrgyz villages of Khalmion (40°12′44″N 71°37′58″E / 40.21222°N 71.63278°E / 40.21222; 71.63278) and Jani-Ayil (40°10′56″N 71°40′49″E / 40.18222°N 71.68028°E / 40.18222; 71.68028) lie outside opposite edges of this enclave, within 1 km of the Kyrgyz-Uzbek main border.[1][2][3]
