Deputy Adakhan Madumarov was again summoned for interrogation by the Investigation Department of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Kyrgyzstan. Own sources informed 24.kg news agency.
It is specified that Madumarov is being interrogated on the Kyrgyz-Tajik border issue.
In addition to him, deputy Iskhak Masaliev was summoned for interrogation on the same issue.
In 2009, being a secretary of the Security Council, Adakhan Madumarov signed with the Tajik side the protocol of the working meeting of the heads of state bodies of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan under the leadership of the Secretaries of the Security Councils of the two countries. According to the document, the Kyrgyz side leased a plot of land from Tajikistan for 49 years, 5 hectares in size and 275 meters long. The protocol was adopted after the negotiations in Khudzhent. Officials were harmonizing domestic procedures for signing an intergovernmental agreement to ban economic activity along the state border line until demarcation and delimitation are completed.
Tajikistan still considers these 5 hectares as its land. Kyrgyzstan calls this land a disputed section of the border.
The investigation believes that Madumarov did not have any authority to sign such a protocol.
