On Thursday, November 17, in an interview with Azda TV, Mukiddin Kabiri refuted the accusations made by Emomali Rahmon, who blamed the Islamic Renaissance Party of Tajikistan for inciting civil war. Kabiri stated that the authorities of Tajikistan, led by Rahmon himself and his propaganda apparatus, as well as some so-called experts and opposition opponents, are all trying to impose this false accusation on the public consciousness.

However, according to him, there are still witnesses alive who observed the events of 30 years ago in Tajikistan, and they know well the true reasons for those events, which were a “systemic coup by regional powers to prevent the creation of a truly national and independent state in Tajikistan, and for the Tajik people to become a developed and independent nation. Unfortunately, even today, after 30 years, we see that those who pursued this goal have achieved their aim. That is, Tajikistan still remains the poorest country in the region, with a corrupt autocratic state system, and the people are fragmented and weak, half of whom are labor migrants, while the other half are in a state of oppression.”

He stated that always placing all the blame on the IRPT and considering the leadership of Tajikistan and other responsible individuals as innocent is “a kind of shirking of responsibility.”

Kabiri urged those who are well-informed about the events of the last 30 years to “make every effort to ensure that society knows the full essence of the events and to prevent any group from imposing their version of events on public opinion.”

“Unfortunately, to this day it is evident that the authorities of Tajikistan, using all available means of propaganda, and on the other hand, taking advantage of the fact that independent forces, opposition forces, and independent experts do not have sufficient resources, and that there are no scientific and analytical centers, are trying to assess the events in a one-sided manner,” said the leader of the IRPT.
