«We are making every effort to resolve the issues of borders with Tajikistan in a peaceful, diplomatic way,» President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov said at the final meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers.
He noted: if the authorities do not resolve border issues, then the integrity of the state will always be in danger.
«Unfortunately, recent events are an example of this. Therefore, border issues were determined with three neighboring countries. We are making every effort to resolve border issues with Tajikistan peacefully and diplomatically. We have taken the responsibility to resolve border issues that have dragged on for 30 years,» the head of state said.
We are obliged to keep and protect the sacred land that we inherited from our ancestors, like the apple of our eye, and pass it on to the next generation in the form in which we received it.
