MINSK, 10 October (BelTA) - Tajikistan has already received aid from
Belarus and Armenia to bolster the border with Afghanistan. The
statement was made by Tajikistan President Emomali Rahmon at the
session of the CIS Heads of State Council in Minsk on 10 October,
BelTA has learned.
The Tajikistan President reminded that the decision to grant the aid
was made at the CIS level in 2013. "I would like to inform you that
so far we have received aid from Belarus and Armenia. Together with
the Russian Federation we are implementing a bilateral military and
technical cooperation program. It is likely that our border service
will get aid as part of the program," he said.
The Tajikistan President said he was sincerely grateful for the aid
and hoped that other countries will follow the example.
Emomali Rahmon said he believes it is necessary to put more effort
into rendering international technical aid to Afghanistan. He stressed
that a very contradicting situation had evolved in Afghanistan. For
now there is no confidence that long-term stability has been secured.
The Tajikistan President said he was gravely concerned about active
operations of groups like Taliban.
Apart from that, the Tajik leader said that the address by the CIS
presidents on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Great
Patriotic War was a timely step because attempts to revise results
of World War Two are being made now. Such attempts are designed to
diminish the role the USSR nations played as they faced the brunt of
the fight against fascism.
