STATEMENT by State Committee for National Security Border Troops Directorate in Sughd

DUSHANBE. October 19, 2022 /NIAT «Khovar»/. The Kyrgyz side is taking deliberate actions aimed at escalating the situation in the border areas.

“Despite the agreements noted in Protocol No. 42 dated September 25, 2022, the Kyrgyz side is taking deliberate actions aimed at escalating the situation in the border areas,» the State Committee for National Security’ Border Troops Directorate in Sughd stated.

The provocative actions of individual citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic aimed at destabilizing the situation, such as preparing firing positions, making trenches, continuing to pull in additional military equipment, and regularly violating the airspace of the Republic of Tajikistan, are clear confirmations of the malicious plans of the Kyrgyz side. From September 26 to October 15, unmanned aerial vehicles of the Kyrgyz Republic violated the airspace of the Republic of Tajikistan over the territory of the city of Isfara and Gрafurov 13 times.

Despite oral and written agreements with the Kyrgyz side, in violation of the provisions of Protocol No. 42 of September 25, 2022, facts of the transfer of military equipment, heavy weapons, and additional military formations to the border areas have been recorded. In particular:

-On October 1 at 17:15 military armored vehicles were transferred from the village of Kok-Tash in the direction of the observation post Ortabuz and Leilek district .On the night of October 4-5, on the left side of the Sarband (Golovnoy) water distribution, the Kyrgyz side built shelters up to 6 meters deep and up to 20 meters wide to accommodate military armored vehicles and mortar crews.

There is a continuation of information attacks in the media and social networks directed against the Republic of Tajikistan. Recently, the Kyrgyz mass media has been actively disseminating materials about newly acquired UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle) and testing drones of their own production.

Residents of the Ak-Sai village with a population of 3,500 people have been systematically attacking citizens of the Republic of Tajikistan and their vehicles for a long time, blocking the only road to Vorukh, restricting the movement of 45,000 citizens of the Republic of Tajikistan, infringing on their rights, isolating them from the outside world.

— On October 2, a resident of the village of Kuchai Bolo of Vorukh Narziev N.B., who was driving a private vehicle through the village of Ak-Sai, was attacked by citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic.

On October 15, the car of a citizen of the Republic of Tajikistan Turanbaev M.Z., license number 9982НР02, was illegally stopped by military personnel of the Kyrgyz Republic for inspection while it was driving in the direction of Vorukh.
— On October 18, a citizen of the Republic of Tajikistan Abdullozoda F., was subjected to an illegal search and insults of Kyrgyz servicemen.

(license number 0100SN02), Tursunov A.I. (license number 8950SE02) and Mansurov D.A. (license number 1643РР02). As a result of the attack, a 9-year-old child was injured.The above facts are direct evidence of the targeted actions of the Kyrgyz side to escalate the situation and provoke the emergence of new armed conflicts in the border areas, inciting ethnic hatred.

The Republic of Tajikistan confirms its firm commitment to strict compliance with the agreements reached on the issues of stabilizing the situation in the border areas and resolving existing problems exclusively by political and diplomatic methods.

This is happening despite the public statements of certain officials of Kyrgyzstan, who deny the possibility of achieving peace between our countries, causing discord among the military and civilian population, who are in deep error. The civil society of the Kyrgyz Republic needs to adequate assess their statements and behavior.

We call on the military leadership of Kyrgyzstan to prevent and stop provocative actions that lead to armed conflicts, take the necessary measures to implement the signed protocols, and ensure peaceful life in the border areas.
