A conflict broke out on the border of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan shortly before the informal summit of heads of Central Asian states. This is the most serious confrontation of the neighboring republics' residents over the past five years. It was reported that two people were killed and a few dozen injured as a result of being hit by stones. A government commission has been created to investigate the causes of the collision. The reason, meanwhile, is on the surface - this section of Tajik-Kyrgyz border is not demarcated or at least delimited.
