TAJIK BORDER TRANSFER MOVES ALONG
By empty (4/15/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Aleksandr Baranov, the commander of Russian border troops on the Tajik-Afghan border, said on 15 April that Tajik guards will take over control of the border by May 2005. Baranov said the start dates and end dates for the transfer have been set at May 2004 and May 2005, but will still require a bilateral agreement between the two governments to iron out the details. Under current working-group protocols, the Pamir section of the border will shift to Tajik control in May-August 2004, with remaining Russian detachments to be moved out by May 2005.Visit also
