| Direct translation of the article [REGNUM] The Kyrgyz Border Guard Service responded to a YouTube video by human rights activist Valentina Chupik that Tajik citizens are allegedly being detained at the airports of Bishkek and Osh. The department said that these rumors are untrue and are an attempt to incite ethnic hatred. The border service emphasizes that the passage of all citizens across the state border of Kyrgyzstan is carried out in a general manner, without dividing into citizenship, nationality, racial and ethnicity. It is also noted that due to the shelling by the Tajik military of the border area of Kyrgyzstan, including the border post "Kyzyl-Bel - road", as well as to ensure the safety of citizens, the passage of people, vehicles and goods through the Kyrgyz-Tajik border has been temporarily suspended. At the same time, to ensure the safety of citizens of Tajikistan who use the airports of Kyrgyzstan for departure to their homeland, their transit through the Kyrgyz territory is organized along two routes: Tajiks are delivered to checkpoints for further travel through Uzbekistan, or they are delivered to checkpoints on the border with Tajikistan. "And" Karamyk - road ", where they are handed over to the Tajik border guards. In both cases, citizens of Tajikistan are transported to checkpoints by buses from the Kyrgyz side. “These measures are perceived by Tajik citizens as adequate to the current situation and, despite the unfounded statements of Valentina Chupik, they continue to use the Kyrgyz airports, which is an unequivocal evidence of the security of Kyrgyzstan for Tajiks,” the Kyrgyz border service states. |
