The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan reported that as a result of recent border armed conflicts, more than 50 citizens of Tajikistan were killed and over 200 were injured.

On October 13, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan, Sirojiddin Muhriddin, during a meeting of the Council of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the CIS, rejected the accusations from Kyrgyzstan.

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan presented detailed information to the CIS member states “about the consequences of the premeditated military aggression of Kyrgyzstan against Tajikistan, as a result of which more than fifty were killed and about two hundred civilians were affected.”

Although the authorities of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan have not yet provided the public with accurate statistical data on the casualties and damage on both sides, some publications, including Azda TV and Radio Ozodi, have compiled lists of the deceased. Radio Ozodi reported 80 fatalities.

Nearly a month has passed since the bloody conflict in the border areas of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, but neither side has admitted to conducting a planned operation. Both sides consistently accuse each other of aggression.
