Kyrgyzstan stated that Tajikistan caused damage amounting to over $15 million

The Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan stated that the damage from Tajikistan’s invasion of the Batken region is estimated at 1 billion 305 million soms (15.4 million dollars).

The government reported that there were also human casualties, including the death of breadwinners in 36 families and the loss of health for several dozen people. It was noted that those injured during the border conflict still cannot expect free medical assistance, according to the statement.

The authorities of Kyrgyzstan have asked citizens in the country and abroad to provide financial assistance to address the damage caused by the clashes on the Tajik-Kyrgyz border in the spring of this year.

The government requested its citizens to provide financial support to the victims and transfer funds to accounts opened by the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the authorities of Batken.

Earlier, as reported by the press service, the government of Kyrgyzstan opened a special account “Office of the Authorized Representative of the PCR in Batken Region” for voluntary donations to assist citizens affected at the border.

The Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan made its accusations on October 20, but Tajik officials, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan, have not yet responded.

The authorities of Tajikistan refrain from providing official statistics, especially regarding the damage inflicted on Tajikistan by the neighboring country.

The government of Tajikistan has also prevented public initiatives to assist the affected population in the border areas.
