The disputed areas are mainly located in watershed regions, pastures, and lands that both sides consider their territory.
The head of the State Committee for Land Management and Geodesy of Tajikistan, Orif Khojazoda, stated that the details of negotiations with Kyrgyzstan regarding the border issue will remain confidential until the final agreement is signed.
This moment has raised public concern about the fair division of disputed sections of the border.
As of today, the description of 889.45 km out of 987.6 km of the Tajik-Kyrgyz border has been completed, which is approximately 90% of the border.
While previously Kyrgyz officials were willing to provide the media with details about the progress of negotiations, they have now also stopped doing so. Some experts explain this as a manifestation of discontent in Kyrgyz society.
There are several complex disputed areas along the Tajik-Kyrgyz border, where the homes of citizens living on both sides of the border literally touch each other, and how the parties will find a compromise on such problematic areas remains unknown.
The disputed areas are mainly located in watershed areas, pastures, and lands that both sides consider their territories.
Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan have been negotiating the delimitation and demarcation of the state border since 2002. It is expected that a resolution to this issue will be reached in March of this year.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey, Hakan Fidan, speaking to journalists on January 10 in Dushanbe following a meeting with the President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, stated that Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan are expected to resolve the border dispute closer to the spring of this year.
