KABUL, October 26, 2010, Asia-Plus — There are no any problems in bilateral cooperation between Tajikistan and Afghanistan in the field of security, Tajik President Emomali Rahmon told reporters in Kabul on October 25 following discussions with Afghan authorities.
Rahmon stressed that nationals of the former Soviet Union and first of all Tajikistan itself have been involved in the latest developments in the Rasht region.
“Reports released by some media that a large of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants allegedly spilled over into Tajikistan do not correspondent to the facts,” Emomali Rahmon stressed.
