DUSHANBE, October 20, Asia-Plus - At present there are 2 or 3 disputable sections on Tajikistan’s common border with Uzbekistan, Colonel-General Saydamir Zuhurov, Chairman of the State Border Protection Committee, told journalists in Dushanbe today.
According to him, Tajik-Uzbek intergovernmental commission has solve an issue of delimitation of the border and its demarcation will be launched as soon as the sides sign an agreement.
The Tajik border service noted that all problems rise because boundaries Tajikistan and Uzbekistan have not been delineated. “Uzbek border guards willfully install border sings, barbed wire and fences there, while they do not have the right to do this before the border demarcation,” Zuhurov stated, “In other words, they are solving this issue by force but not by political way though negotiations.” As a whole, there are quite enough problems on the Tajik-Uzbek border but the sides should resolve them proceeding from principle of neighborliness, according to him.
On the Tajik-Kyrgyz border, Zuhurov said that work has not yet started on this stretch of the Tajik national border. “The only section on the Tajik-Kyrgyz border, on which the sides do not have disputes, is the section in the Murgab district of Gorno Badakhshan.”
