“The hardships of the Pamir Kyrgyz have been constantly disturbing my thoughts for a long time,” Japarov said on April 4. "I have had the desire for them to be resettled in their historical homeland for a long time and now I mean to realize these intentions.” “I will do this as soon as possible,” Japarov said. “This issue will be under my control. We do have financial resources and a plan about how and where they will be relocated. We will create good conditions for them.” Implementing the plan will require at least tacit approval and cooperation from Afghanistan’s government.
