AHC/WI: Balkanize Central Asia Post-WWII

Get this region to be split much more heavily based on ethnicity. How it can happen and what will happen if done?

For simplicity, the definition of Central Asia will be: former Soviet Central Asian republics, Afghanistan, Iran, western China, Caucasus, Pakistan, and Russia.

Probably the best way to do this would be to keep the whole Soviet Central Asia region under a single SSR (Turkestan) but with a lot of ASSRs like the Karakalpak SSR. These had a tendency to turn into post-Soviet conflict (Nagorno-Karabakh between Armenia and Azerbaijan for instance).
