The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan considered the information provided at the briefing by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan, Sodik Imomi, on the situation at the Kyrgyz-Tajik border.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic called the comments of the diplomat of such a rank on the domestic policy of another state unprofessional and reckless, including references to some kind of «segregationist policy» do not correspond to reality and elementary norms of diplomatic ethics.
«Obviously provocative statements, which are a set of false and falsified information that do not correspond to reality, are presented as statements that a priori do not need to be confirmed. We note that the continuation of negotiations on the delimitation of the Kyrgyz-Tajik state border cannot be a reason for an armed attack to seize the sovereign territory of the Kyrgyz Republic,» the Kyrgyz Foreign Ministry stressed.
Despite all the awkward and ridiculous attempts by the Tajik side to mislead the international community, the fact of Tajikistan’s inhuman armed aggression against Kyrgyzstan, in violation of the fundamental principles and norms of international law, remains a fact.
