Kabiri called Putin’s actions a “geopolitical failure”

Leader of the IRPT Mukiddin Kabiri addressed an open letter to the President of Russia.

As reported by the Payom portal, Mukiddin Kabiri, the leader of the Islamic Revival Party of Tajikistan and leader of the opposition coalition National Alliance of Tajikistan, addressed an open letter to the President of Russia.

In his letter, the leader of the IRPT Mukiddin Kabiri urged Putin not to recognize the IRPT as a terrorist organization in Russia and not to consider the “traditionally neutral and even friendly Tajik opposition party” as an enemy.

He noted that “if such a reckless decision is made, tens and hundreds of thousands of supporters and former party members, as well as ordinary citizens of Tajikistan, will once again become victims of repression, psychological and political pressure, and persecution both in Tajikistan and in Russia.”

“In recent months, Russian policy supporting mass repressions carried out by Rahmon against the residents of GBAO has already alienated and disappointed thousands of Badakhshan residents in this historically and traditionally pro-Russian region of Tajikistan. This is a geopolitical failure of what you are doing in Tajikistan, Vladimir Vladimirovich,” emphasized Kabiri.
