Ten years earlier, that is in 1999, a document on the status of a Russian military base in Tajikistan was approved by the two sides. However, the base itself was established five years later. There were heated disputes over this issue at the time (we will talk about them further). The two sides seemed to be satisfied with the settlement of the issue. In any case, Tajikistan seemed to have a small compensation for the seizure of its territory by a military body of a foreign state. Russia, in exchange for a symbolic amount of money, ensured its political and military presence in Central Asia. However, it is not the decision of the government that forced me to write this article, although I, as a citizen, cannot accept the agreement in the form it was signed. At that time it seemed that the issue was resolved forever. In any case they used to tell us this.
