Video of dismantling of a part of the fences on the Kyrgyz-Uzbek border near Bekabad-Avtodorozhny checkpoint appeared on the Internet.
Judging by the video, it was filmed in Uzbekistan. Workers use heavy equipment to dismantle a brick fence.
The Border Service of the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic reported that the Uzbek side has begun restoring the infrastructure of its Bek-Abad — Khanabad checkpoint.
«Khanabad-Avtodorozhny checkpoint was closed by Uzbekistan unilaterally in 2010. We also suspended the operation of Bekabad-Avtodorozhny checkpoint. After the recent bilateral agreements on the resumption of the work of the previously mothballed checkpoints, we have done all the work to restore them. The same work is being carried out by our Uzbek colleagues,» the Border Service informed.
Agreement on opening additional checkpoints has been discussed by the authorities of the two countries over the past few years.
