The CSTO Secretariat drew attention to the information disseminated in the media about the presence in the CSTO of some plans to relieve tension on the Tajik-Kyrgyz border, Total.kz reports with reference to the press service of the Organization.
“The border problem between the Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Tajikistan really exists. It has been repeatedly discussed at sessions of the supreme body, the Collective Security Council, and at meetings of other statutory bodies of the Organization. The military departments of the CSTO member states are not developing specific plans for resolving this problem. Work on this issue between Dushanbe and Bishkek continues through bilateral channels. At the same time, the leaders of both states confirm that there is no alternative to the political and diplomatic solution. If the Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Tajikistan apply to use the CSTO potential, it will be considered in accordance with the current procedures,” the CSTO press service said in a statement.
