A protest took place in Bishkek with the participation of about 8 people. The participants held placards with inscriptions: “Batken is our land!”, “Stop, Rahmon, aggressor.” They demanded the resignation of the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon. Journalists also participated in the protest.

No employees of the Tajikistan embassy came out to the protesters. The Tajik authorities also did not officially comment on the incident.

Earlier, on April 12, a Tajik border guard was injured at the border between the villages of Khistevarz in the Bobojon Gafurov district of the Sughd region and Borborduk in the Leilek district of the Batken region. Later, the media reported that Sergeant Zoir Saidumarov died from his injuries.

The authorities of the village of Khistevarz in the Bobojon Gafurov district accused Kyrgyz border guards of inciting the conflict and starting the shooting.

On April 13, delegations from both countries held negotiations and agreed “to withdraw troops from the border to permanent deployment locations and to clarify the reasons for the incident.”
