President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov commented on the issue of delimitation and demarcation of the border with Tajikistan in an interview with Kabar news agency.
«There are developments, but the work is going too slowly. If both parties agree to the delimitation, then the work will be completed in a month. Unfortunately, in the course of work, the neighbors suddenly offer to determine some area on the map of 1924. Work stops. Such a proposal does not meet any legal or moral standards. In 1924, neither they nor we were a separate country. If both sides decide to delimit on the basis of the 1924 map, then all border lines should be reviewed according to it,» Sadyr Japarov said.
The President noted that he had previously hoped that the determination of the border line with Tajikistan would be completed by May 2023. «At that time, the parties worked in harmony, the work was going faster. Unfortunately, it was not completed,» he said.
