In recent days, there has been a lot of excitement on social media and the news about a piece published by Tajik scholar Abdullohi Rahnamo on "Tajikistan's Position or Why the Republic of Tajikistan is Not an Aggressor Country”. The political and security situation on the border between the Republic of Tajikistan and the Kyrgyz Republic, which has caused unrest among the border population in recent years for a number of reasons and factors, has been a dead end for various segments of society. There were constant conflicts between border residents of the Kyrgyz Republic and border residents of the Republic of Tajikistan that led to armed conflicts. To sympathize with and help the suffering villagers of Vorukh, the brave and courageous young men of Tajikistan decided to defend the country's borders. But the subject of the dispute was unclear to most.

Why does the Kyrgyz side constantly attack the Tajik border? It seemed that the people of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Tajikistan throughout history, especially during the 70 years of Soviet rule, lived a good life in an atmosphere of friendship and brotherhood. Such relations continued even after independence. However, the incessant conflicts of recent years, the inclusion of Russia and the SPAD organization in this dispute, as well as the Kyrgyz leadership's appeal to the UN, OSCE and other international organizations to "mediate" this crisis, the possibility of turning from a local and interstate issue into a major regional and interstate dispute. Based on this situation, international expert Abdullohi Rahnamo, using documents and historical sources, prepared a material clarifying the reality of the issue. The simple essence of the tangled border conflict between the two neighboring states is that according to official documents defining the border between the two countries, today there are about 211,000 hectares of legal territory of the Republic of Tajikistan in possession or in use of Kyrgyz Republic.

If you look at the outside example, these usurped lands are almost equal to the country of Luxembourg in Europe, or almost twice the size of the countries of Singapore and Bahrain in Asia).

As the Soviet Union was divided, its legal interpretation was repeated in the Constitutions of the Soviet Union, adopted in different years, including 1924, 1936 and 1977, which is an indicator of its importance. and determination.

In particular, according to paragraph "b" of the Constitution of the Soviet Union of January 31, 1924, the regulation of changes of borders between the Soviet republics belonged only to the Soviet Union.

Its 18th article strictly states that "WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE UNITED REPUBLIC AND THEIR BORDERS CANNOT BE CHANGED. 

As we know, this discussion has gradually become more complicated over the past hundred years, depending on the situation. At this stage, the Kyrgyz side constantly tried to take possession of the lands belonging to Tajikistan by any means. However, the Tajik side rejected Kyrgyzstan's demands in this matter. Finally, unofficially, in 1961, by the agreement between the head of Isfara district, the head of Leninabad region and the head of Ush district, contrary to the official documents of 1924-1932, part of the historical and legal lands of Isfara district was given to the Batken district of Ush district of the neighboring country for use. Tajikistan did not accept this document at the state level, and the Kyrgyz Republic unilaterally formalized it, which contradicts any laws and regulations. Meanwhile, the problem has not found a solution, and the Kyrgyz government's appeal to international organizations to help resolve this conflict could destabilize the political situation not only of the two claimant countries, but also of the region. Therefore, it is necessary that residents of both countries not sacrifice themselves and the security and peace of their country in games between powerful states and resolve the issue fairly with supporting documents. On the other hand, it is necessary that the occupants do not give in to their feelings and do not deal with the issue through insults and slander, enmity and revenge, because this will have unpleasant consequences, which are not good neighbors.
