The agency’s message was published by the National Information Agency “Khovar”. In particular, the press center of the Border Troops of the State Committee for National Security of the Republic of Tajikistan stated:

“The trend of escalating situations in the region and the world, attempts by terrorist and extremist organizations to illegally cross state borders and carry out inhumane terrorist acts in various parts of the planet, including in the Republic of Tajikistan, necessitates strengthening the protection and security of the country’s territory, stability and tranquility, as well as ensuring a peaceful life for the population,” the message states.

According to the SCNS, the entry of foreign citizens and stateless persons into the border zone without permission from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and law enforcement agencies is strictly prohibited, and consent for the admission of other persons to the border line is granted only based on identity documents that are arranged for travel.
