“The main celebrations will take place at the Vahdat Central Stadium,” the source said, noting that the construction of the stadium is being carried out in a rapid pace.
The stadium will be able to seat up to more than 25,000 people and a cost of the project is more than 53 million somoni.
Celebrations to mark the 19th anniversary of the National Unity Day of Tajikistan were held this year in Khorog, the capital of the Gorno Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO).
On June 27, 1997, the confronting sides signed in Moscow the General Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and National Accord in Tajikistan. For the purposes of achieving peace and national accord in Tajikistan and overcoming the consequences of the civil war, inter-Tajik talks on national reconciliation were conducted from April 1994 to 1997 under the auspices of the United Nations.
Protocols that were agreed and signed in the course of eight rounds of talks between delegations of the Government of Tajikistan and the United Tajik Opposition (UTO), six meetings between the President of Tajikistan and the UTO leader, and also three rounds of consultations between the delegations of the sides in Almaty, Ashgabat, Bishkek, Islamabad, Kabul, Mashhad (Iran), Moscow, Tehran and Khusdeh (Afghanistan) constituted the General Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and National Accord in Tajikistan.
