Uzbek and Kyrgyz governments have resolved the disputed border sections as delegations of both states met in Tashkent on March 24-25. According to Kamchybek Tashiyev, the head of the Kyrgyz security services, issues around the Kyrgyz-Uzbek border have now completely been resolved.
Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov, while meeting with his Uzbek counterpart, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, earlier in March said that it might take up to three months to resolve outstanding demarcation differences. The completion of this task in less than a month is yet another worth to mention fact.
One passage involved the territory of Sokh, an Uzbek exclave that is home to 85,000 people but that is entirely surrounded by Kyrgyzstan. Under the agreement, the two nations have committed to open multiple checkpoints that will admit cars and minibuses.
Another strand of the agreement has involved numerous land swaps.
“After two days of discussion, they gave us 8,000 hectares (80 square kilometers) of land, said Kamchybek Tashiyev. “That is several villages and land for cattle. As you know, there have often been clashes along the Gavasai River. Now, this land goes entirely to Kyrgyzstan. There will be no more clashes.”
