Emomali Rahmon rebuked Vladimir Putin and urged him not to treat Central Asian states as countries of the former USSR. The President of Tajikistan has taken a very important and eloquent step.
This Channel 24 said political consultant Mikhail Sheitelman. According to him, Tajikistan is no longer dependent on the Russian Federation for protection.
“The President of Tajikistan has become the second Tokaev”
Sheitelman stressed that the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon really had a demarche against the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
President of Tajikistan became, in a sense, the second Tokaev,” said the political strategist.
He recalled that in May, Kazakh President Kasim-Jomart Tokayev demonstrated that Kazakhstan is no longer a Russian satellite under any circumstances. Right on the stage of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, Tokayev told Putin that he did not recognize his quasi-republics.
If you remember, there was an important follow-up. The head of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, came to Kazakhstan deliberately before the meeting with Putin and, standing next to Tokayev, said that now the territorial integrity of Kazakhstan is guaranteed by China. Sheitelman said.
He noted that earlier the territorial integrity of Kazakhstan was guaranteed by the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

Sheitelman said that after that Tajikistan, which did not border on the Russian Federation and had previously feared being captured by the Russians, also stated that more not afraid of Moscow. In the end, he decided to take such an important step.
Firstly, they have a Russian base on the border with Afghanistan and the military has been partially withdrawn from there to the front in Ukraine. And Tajikistan no longer depends on Russia for protection. It no longer protects Tajikistan from the Taliban. – he stressed.
According to the political strategist, Tajikistan is no longer afraid of the occupation, because it will be able to fight off the Russians remaining at the base.
He sees the example of Kazakhstan. And the Tajiks, I think, agreed with the Chinese. It seems to me that the President of Tajikistan said all this, having previously spoken with the People's Republic of China, with its head Xi Jinping,” Sheitelman said.
He added that he would not be surprised if after that Jinping received the President of Tajikistan and say that China is the guarantor of the territorial integrity of his country.
