On September 28, at a meeting of the Kyrgyz parliament, Deputy Sultanbay Aijigitov demanded the cancellation of all protocols signed with Tajikistan.

“Yatimov said after signing protocol No. 42 that peace would be maintained as long as the requirements of the protocol were met. He said the same words when signing protocol No. 39 after the invasion in 2021,” the Kyrgyz portal Kaktus.media reports the words of the deputy.

“This is an outright threat of military aggression. These protocols are illegal because they were signed under duress, under the threat of extensive military actions. They will not lead to peace.”

According to him, in February he proposed to review all protocols by creating a commission, as they were signed under pressure.

“They need to be canceled. About ten protocols did not go through the ratification procedure. They give grounds for Tajiks to apply military aggression against us and prepare for this from the UN platform,” Aijigitov stated.

It was previously reported that on September 25 of this year, the Chairman of the State National Security Committee of Tajikistan, Saymumin Yatimov, and the Chairman of the State National Security Committee of Kyrgyzstan, Kamchybek Tashiev, signed a protocol to cease the conflict at the border of the two countries as a result of negotiations at the “Kyzyl-Bel” checkpoint.

It was also reported that “to prevent conflicts in the future, it was decided to conserve border posts that ‘constantly lead to conflicts’.”
