On October 4, the leader of the National Alliance of Tajikistan, Mukiddin Kabiri, during another meeting of the Warsaw Conference of the OSCE, firmly supported the military personnel of Tajikistan and stated that they were fulfilling their official and civic duty by protecting the border.

At the meeting of the Warsaw Conference of the OSCE on October 4, dedicated to torture, Kyrgyz activist Aydar Sadikov called Tajikistan’s actions an “act of aggression” and emphasized that Tajik military personnel had crossed into the sovereign territory of Kyrgyzstan.

Aydar Sadikov stated that Tajik military personnel set fire to the homes of residents, attacked schools and other public facilities, and tortured prisoners. Kyrgyzstan has been subjected to a massive information attack. Sadikov stated that as a result of the events at the border in September of this year, 60 citizens of Kyrgyzstan, including women and children, were killed.

Mukiddin Kabiri, in his speech, emphasized that he agrees that a dictator rules in Tajikistan and that there is a repressive regime, but he cannot agree to Tajikistan being unilaterally blamed for these incidents at the border.

According to the leader of the National Alliance of Tajikistan, there are victims on both sides, and a one-sided assessment of these events is erroneous. Furthermore, Tajik military personnel are not aggressors; they fulfilled their civic duty during the conflict to protect their borders, the politician emphasized.

At the OSCE Warsaw Conference on Human Dimension, the leader of the National Alliance of Tajikistan, Mukiddin Kabiri, spoke after Aydar Sadikov. He immediately reacted to the statements of the Kyrgyz activist and emphasized that he supports the idea that the situation at the Tajik-Kyrgyz border should be investigated by an independent commission.
