In Kara-Kul, a requiem rally was held on the "Victory" alley, dedicated to the veterans who carried out peacekeeping missions on the Tajik-Afghan border from 1993 to 1999. The event was attended by the city leadership, including the deputy mayor and the chairman of the city council, as well as representatives of educational institutions and local school students.
The ceremony began with a minute of silence in honor of compatriots who participated in this historical mission in the Batken region. After laying wreaths at the monument and reading a memorial prayer (Quran), the formal part of the event took place.
One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of badges "For Service in Tajikistan" to the veteran peacekeepers. In addition, each of the 22 veterans residing in Kara-Kul received targeted social support of 5,000 soms from the local budget, and the funds have already been transferred to their personal accounts.
The organizers of the event noted that such meetings not only pay tribute to those who made a significant contribution to maintaining peace and territorial integrity of the country but also play an important role in the patriotic education of the youth.
