It is essentially one town with Kara-Suu in Kyrgyzstan, but is separated from the latter by a Soviet-era border which today is tightly controlled by Uzbekistan. Qorasuv was the second town in Uzbekistan to be sealed off during the Andijan massacre in spring 2005, when some 6,000 people fled across the border.{{cite book|last=Khalid|first=Adeeb|title=Islam After Communism: Religion And Politics in Central Asia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-4DQxo8-uN8C&pg=PT286|access-date=12 May 2012|date=15 January 2007|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-24927-1|page=286}} A border town, it is an important market town, especially for cottonseed oil trading.{{cite book|last=Gavrilis|first=George|title=The Dynamics of Interstate Boundaries|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=stJ5Krljx-MC&pg=PA147|access-date=12 May 2012|date=22 September 2008|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-89899-7|page=147}}
