Suzak (Kyrgyz: Сузак; Uzbek: Suzoq / Сузоқ) is a village in Jalal-Abad Region, Kyrgyzstan. It is the capital of Suzak District.

History

The first mention of Suzak village is known from a map of Eugene Schuyler "Map of the Khanates of Bukhara, Khiva, and Kokand and Part of Russian Turkestan" of 1875.[2]

In 1998 a catastrophic flood of the river Kögart destroyed around 1,000 dwellings in Suzak.
