  1. “The leadership of the Republic of Tajikistan once again reaffirms its intention to make all necessary efforts to pursue negotiations to achieve the national reconciliation of the country and proposes to the armed groups of the Tajik opposition and adjacent regions of Afghanistan that they refrain from irresponsible tests of force, comply with the inter-Tajik Agreement on a Temporary Cease-fire, and thereby create the conditions necessary for a consistent search for political solutions.”

  2. “We regard highly the efforts of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Organization of the Islamic Conference aimed at promoting a political settlement to the Tajik conflict and the situation on the Tajik-Afghan border. The Government of Tajikistan is taking the measures necessary to ensure the security of the personnel of the United Nations Mission and to protect its property. The process of Tajikistan's accession to the Convention on the Safety of United Nations and Associated Personnel is now being concluded. We sincerely hope that the joint efforts of the friends of the Tajik people will greatly help to ensure substantive progress towards national reconciliation during the course of the forthcoming fourth round of inter-Tajik talks in Moscow.”

  3. “We are satisfied that the Council's members are profoundly aware of the fact that success or failure in establishing peace and harmony in our small country will inevitably affect the other States of Central Asia, since it will either help to stabilize the situation in the region or lead to a further escalation and expansion of the conflict to neighbouring States. I am convinced that the latter option will not occur. In conclusion, I wish to express our gratitude to the Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Tajikistan, Ambassador Ramiro Piriz-Ballon, for his tireless efforts to promote political dialogue. I also thank the Governments of Iran, Pakistan, the Russian Federation, Uzbekistan and other States parties to the inter-Tajik dialogue as observers.”

  4. “The neutrality and impartiality of these forces is clearly reflected in their mandate, which is cited in the Secretary- General's report on Tajikistan. We are counting on the fact that common sense and an understanding of Tajikistan's real situation will prevail over the lingering prejudices of the period of confrontation and that the Security Council will officially proclaim its support for the activities of the CIS Collective Peace-keeping Forces. The Security Council's efforts to participate in the activities of the humanitarian and other organizations and agencies of the United Nations system are helping greatly to strengthen the general trend towards a stabilization of the situation of the long-suffering Tajik land.”

  5. “We most ardently yearn for peace, calm and the well- being of the friendly people of Afghanistan. Our sole objective is the preservation of the territorial integrity and unity of multinational Tajikistan and the return of peace and harmony to our land. The establishment of the Collective Peace-keeping Forces of the CIS on the basis of the Treaty on collective security between the countries of the Commonwealth is an organic element of the implementation of the principle of preventive diplomacy contained in the Secretary- General's report "Agenda for peace". We consider the formation of the Collective Peace-keeping Forces to be a regional agreement concluded in conformity with Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter and with the purposes and principles of the Organization.”

  6. “In the current circumstances, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Tajikistan and the Republic of Uzbekistan have signed an agreement on the establishment on my country's territory of Collective Peace-keeping Forces. The Foreign Ministers of these five States officially informed the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali, of this in their joint statements of 24 August and 30 September 1993. The Tajik people rightfully perceive the Collective Peace-keeping Forces of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) as a barrier to the penetration of our southern border by dangerous sparks of the fierce ongoing conflict in neighbouring Afghanistan and solely as a measure designed to protect against armed terrorism.”

  7. “We hope that that appeal will also be heeded by those who are sending foreign mercenaries to join the ranks of the irreconcilable opposition factions in the territory of Afghanistan, and we are hereby officially informing the Security Council of the participation of such elements in armed attacks. The normalization of the situation on the Tajik- Afghan border and the stabilization of the situation in Tajikistan are interlinked and interdependent processes. There is hardly any need to demonstrate the fact that armed clashes on our border with Afghanistan are fraught with serious threats to peace and security throughout the Central Asian region.”

  8. “I should also like to inform members of the Security Council that on 2 December of this year, in accordance with Tajikistan's new Constitution, the President of the Council of Ministers issued a decree calling upon the population voluntarily to relinquish and destroy all firearms, ammunition and military equipment - a decree confirmed by the Council of the Republic. In Tajikistan, a new Government is being put in place. Today, instead of the former 26 ministries and State committees, the Government consists of 18 ministries and three State committees. A 20 to 30 per cent reduction of administrative staffs is being carried out. We attach great importance to the Security Council's appeal to all States and others concerned to refrain from any actions that could complicate the peace process.”

  9. “Here, we place importance on the Council's urgent appeal to the parties to comply strictly with the obligations they have assumed to implement fully the Agreement and to refrain from any steps that could aggravate the existing situation or hinder the process towards national reconciliation. On behalf of the Government of Tajikistan, I should like to assure the Security Council that it will cooperate fully with the United Nations Mission of Observers and will be prepared quickly to conclude with the United Nations an agreement on the status of the Mission.”

  10. “We are most seriously concerned by the continuing and - in a number of recent cases - increased attempts by recalcitrant factions of the opposition to inflame the atmosphere by acts of sabotage, the seizure of hostages and acts of terror against peaceful citizens, in particular against members of the intelligentsia. In the period since 20 October 1994 alone, opposition fighters have violated the provisions of the Agreement on a Temporary Cease-fire more than 50 times. There have been 34 attempts by armed groups to break through the Tajik-Afghan border. Border outposts, temporary installations and military details have been shelled on approximately 20 occasions.”

  11. “It is fully determined to build on these achievements and to do all in its power to comply with the Agreement. In reiterating my Government's dedication to the search for ways to put an end to the conflict through the inter-Tajik negotiations, I should like to emphasize that this difficult quest to achieve complex solutions can be successful only with the parties' unswerving compliance with their commitments under the Agreement on a Temporary Cease-fire and the Cessation of Other Hostile Acts on the Tajik-Afghan Border and within the Country.”

  12. “My Government is convinced that only political dialogue, in combination with the measures we are undertaking to democratize the country's political life - the adoption of a new Constitution, presidential elections and the forthcoming parliamentary and local elections, on 26 February 1995 - will pave the way towards national reconciliation in Tajikistan. I have been asked to report to members of the Security Council that the leadership of Tajikistan is carrying out a consistent policy aimed at achieving national reconciliation and that it considers the Agreement on a Temporary Cease-fire and the Cessation of Other Hostile Acts on the Tajik-Afghan Border and within the Country, and the extension of the Agreement's term, as an initial success in this direction.”

  13. “Boutros Boutros- Ghali, for his unswerving dedication to the cause of the maintenance of peace and security and for his energetic efforts to promote a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Tajikistan. Our delegation has carefully studied the Secretary- General's report of 30 November on the situation in Tajikistan and shares its fundamental conclusions and recommendations. My Government supports the Security Council draft resolution concerning the establishment of a United Nations Mission of Observers in Tajikistan (UNMOT) and expresses the hope that its size will be increased. My Government is relying on the fact that the appeals of the major organ of the United Nations with primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security will be heard by all of the parties to the conflict.”

  14. “Mr. Kayumov (Tajikistan) (interpretation from Russian): Allow me first of all to congratulate you, Sir, on your accession to the presidency of the Security Council for the month of December and to wish you success in carrying out this difficult and responsible task. I should also like to express sincere gratitude to the Permanent Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations, Ambassador Madeleine Albright, for her intensive and far-ranging work as President of the Security Council in the month of November. I should like to seize the opportunity of this first statement in the Security Council to express the deepest respect and sincere gratitude of the people and Government of Tajikistan to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, His Excellency Mr.”
