Chairman of the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan (SCNS) Kamchybek Tashiev announced that the need for a permanent border presence on the Kyrgyz-Tajik border may soon be eliminated. He made the statement during the 91st meeting of the CIS Council of Commanders of the Border Troops in Manas.
