Bishkek, Sept. 20, 2022 . / Kabar / . No illegal actions or discrimination on the grounds of nationality or citizenship of another state have been recorded recently in reality, Deputy Head of the Public Security Service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan Nurlan Ismailov said during a press conference at Kabar News Agency.

He added that there are representatives of more than 80 different ethnicities and nationalities for whom Kyrgyzstan is a homeland.

Earlier, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that the rights and freedoms of citizens living on the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic are protected by the Constitution and the laws of the republic.

"No one can be subjected to any discrimination on the grounds of social, official or property status, gender, race, nationality, language, attitude to religion or any other circumstances," the report said.

During a briefing on the situation on the Tajik-Kyrgyz border, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan voiced information that does not correspond to reality.

It disseminated false information that in Bishkek and other large cities of Kyrgyzstan, citizens of Tajik nationality without citizenship are allegedly identified and subjected to illegal violent actions - they are beaten and taken to an unknown destination.

The clashes on the Kyrgyz-Tajik border started on Sept. 14.

The Tajik side attacked border guarding and civilian infrastructure objects of Kyrgyzstan along the perimeter of the state border in Batken Oblast. Tajikistan used heavy armored vehicles, multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) and aircraft in an attempt to seize the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic.

According to the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Tajik military destroyed the infrastructure of outposts, as well as schools, kindergartens, retail outlets, first-aid posts, and houses. Shouting nationalist slogans, they showed blasphemy and subjected the bodies of the border guards of the Kyrgyz Republic who died at the post to mockery.

An emergency regime has been introduced in Batken Oblast.
