According to the portal 24.kg, Kyrgyz parliament deputy Sultanbay Aijigitov stated that according to international norms, heavy equipment cannot be located in enclaves, therefore Tajikistan must withdraw all heavy equipment from enclaves on the territory of Kyrgyzstan.
“Three days ago, Tajikistan began a targeted provocation. They shelled our positions with mortars and brought in heavy equipment. There is the pasture Kyk and the village Bulak-Bashy. They do not want the residents of Batken to live in the village. Heavy equipment must be withdrawn from the enclave Vorukh,” the deputy stated.
While the Kyrgyz parliament deputy accuses the Tajik side of provoking the recent shooting at the border, earlier in its statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country condemned the “deliberately timed provocation by the Kyrgyz side” and called for strict adherence to all agreements reached to prevent similar incidents in the future.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan, on June 3, 2022, at 10:40 local time, “as a result of the illegal deliberate intrusion of servicemen of the Kyrgyz Republic into the territory of the Republic of Tajikistan, an armed incident occurred.”
It was previously reported that on June 3, a shooting occurred between Tajik and Kyrgyz border guards in the village of Puli Oftobruy, 10 km from the center of the jamoat.
“In response to the demands of representatives of Tajikistan, Kyrgyz servicemen took firing positions and opened fire first towards the border post ‘Kekh’ in the village of Vorukh in the city of Isfara, Tajikistan. The situation escalated due to the buildup of additional forces and equipment by the Kyrgyz side,” the statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan noted.
Exact data on the casualties is currently unavailable. Kyrgyz media reports that two border guards were injured.
