Defense and Security Monitor (23 April 2024)

The Tajik parliament has ratified a defense cooperation agreement with Turkey covering the provision of security assistance to the Central Asian country. 

Tajikistan and Turkey originally inked the military cooperation agreement at IDEF23, held in Turkey in July 2023. Turkish media described the deal at the time as a “military financial cooperation agreement and a cash aid implementation protocol.” 

Ankara will provide up to TRY50 million ($1.5 million) over a five-year period to support Tajikistan’s purchase of Turkish military products, Tajik Defense Minister Sherali Mirzo told lawmakers. “The allocated funds may be used for the purchase of goods and payment for services of Turkish companies within the framework of the bilateral military and technical cooperation,” he said.
