The head of the State Committee for National Security, Kamchybek Tashiev, and the chairman of the State Committee for National Security of Tajikistan, Saimumin Yatimov, made an appeal. This was announced by journalist Otkurbek Rakhmanov.

The head of the State Committee for National Security of Tajikistan is convinced that full stability will be ensured soon.

“We have gathered today to resolve all problems and disputes,” he says. - We had a very controversial conversation. The tragedy that happened in the border areas should never be repeated, because our peoples live on this site. They are very friendly, they have no special claims among themselves. We, politicians, must resolve issues and enable peoples to live in peace. I am convinced that full stability will soon be ensured.

Kamchybek Tashiev, in turn, noted that a protocol of four points had been signed.

“Today we adopted a four-point protocol,” he said. - Today our peoples are living through very difficult times. The tragedy of the two countries happened. It was very difficult to meet at this time. On the instructions of the heads of state, they decided to completely end the firefights and withdraw all the troops on the border. God willing, there will be complete silence in our countries. We very much hope that all decisions in the protocol will be implemented.

@UkroTurk 🚬 You did a very good job at covering it bro!

I think the Turkic Council should mobilize and provide a humanitarian aid to the border areas on Kyrgyzstani side. This will be the first move towards gaining influence in regional issues and taking part of the processes in the mid and long term while other structural processes are going on and joint mechanisms are established. That issue should also be discussed in Turkic Council format.

Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan: Troops engaged in sustained gun battle along contested border​

Exchanges of gunfire raged for more than an hour.​

Border troops from Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan engaged in a prolonged gun battle on January 27 in a clash that is alleged to have been triggered by Tajik troops blocking a strategic Kyrgyz highway running along the frontier.


The Kyrgyz State Committee for National Security said in a statement that around 7:35 p.m. Bishkek time, after the road was reopened following successful negotiations, Tajik border personnel opened fire at their Kyrgyz counterparts. Kyrgyz troops returned fire.


One bout of gunfire lasted at least an hour, according to one Eurasianet source in the Kyrgyz armed forces. As of 9:30 p.m. Bishkek-time, civilians in Tajikistan were still reporting hearing sustained gunfire.


Kyrgyz officials said skirmishes were concentrated around the Kyrgyz villages of Tort-Kocho and Chir-Dobo. Tajik troops used mortars and grenade launchers, they said.


Tajikistan has yet to comment on the situation and has offered no alternative account of events.

The crossroads where the fighting has been happening are viewed as deeply strategic by both countries. The north-south road joins the mainland of Tajikistan to a densely populated enclave called Vorukh. The east-west road runs from Batken, the capital of the eponymous Kyrgyz province, to a large town, Isfana. Failure to clearly demarcate the border has led to hundreds of clashes in the areas between communities and state troops over the decades.

Berdibek Makambayev, a resident of the village of Ortoboz, in Kyrgyzstan’s Batken region, said he was at the crossroads shortly after the incident that appears to have set off the entire chain of events.


“When it started getting dark, people heard shouting coming from the road that runs to Isfana. When I got there, I saw a crowd. There were shards of glass from a car strewn along the road. It happened near the crossroads the Tajiks use to go to their enclave,” he said.


Makambayev said that the vehicle with the smashed glass was carrying Tajik passengers and had stopped at the crossroads, thereby provoking nearby Kyrgyz residents.


“When they left, Tajik border guards arrived and blocked the Batken-Isfana road. Then Kyrgyz border guards came and it seemed to us that the conflict had been settled. But toward eight o’clock, the Tajiks opened fire, and our guys began shooting back,” Makambayev said.


Maruf Tullayev, the deputy plenipotentiary representative to the president for Batken province, claimed to reporters that Tajiks were poised to start working on a bridge and that this had angered the local Kyrgyz population.


A Eurasianet source in the Kyrgyz State Committee for National Security, or GKNB, said that troops had been wounded in the skirmishes. He said that he was not able to provide exact figures. Tajik media cited its sources as saying at least three Tajik servicemen had been taken to the hospital for treatment.

Locals in the village of Ortoboz told Eurasianet that electrical cables were damaged during the fighting leaving residents in a handful of villages without power.


Dushanbe-based news outlet Asia-Plus said that women and children were being evacuated from Somoniyon, a Tajik village adjacent to where the shooting was taking place.


“First, the Kyrgyz military began to shoot, and in response, the Tajik military opened fire, and a shootout began. There are some wounded people, but the exact number is not known,” one Somoniyon resident told Asia-Plus on condition of anonymity.


Residents of Isfara, not to be confused with Isfana, the largest town in the Tajik district north of the Vorukh crossroads, told Eurasianet that heavy armored vehicles were directed to Chorkuh, another Tajik town that abuts the border.
