In the framework of the ODKB obligations, Russia is ready to provide the necessary assistance to Tajikistan in the event of an increase in terrorist threats from Afghanistan as the United States military contingent is withdrawn. This was stated by the head of the State Duma Committee on Defense Vladimir Shamanov.
“If you need, we, of course, in the framework of the ODCB obligations we will assist the comprehensive Tajikistan. We will not leave it alone,” leads his words TASS.
Shamanov noted that the State Duma Committee on Defense conducts systemic measures to assess the situation.
It is planned that the situation in Afghanistan will be the topic for discussion on the Council of the CSTO. It may affect the estimated plane – while there is no acute concern for the leadership of Tajikistan, but this question must be kept on control, Shamanov said.
