thread_title:  Coordinates 

message: To the best of my understanding, the Farkhor Air Base is on the southern border of Tajikistan, "130 km south-east of Dushanbe". The Ayni Air Base is in the suburbs of Dushanbe, just 10 km west or south-west of the capital. If I am right, the two should be disentangled into separate articles. Can anyone help? --Zlerman (talk) 02:03, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct, they are two different bases. Here is an explanation of their relationship: "India's initiative to refurbish Ayni followed the earlier establishment of its first military "outpost" in Tajikistan at Farkhor on the Tajik-Afghan border. The 'quietly functional' Farkhor base was an extension of the field hospital India established in the late 1990's as part of its role in helping Afghanistan's Northern Alliance in the fight against the Taliban regime. Northern Alliance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud, targeted by assassins, died in the Indian-run hospital two days before September 11, 2001."  Askari Mark (Talk) 20:34, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

message: This article is completely false and is based solely on speculation of Indian media. Tajik officials have repeated denied existence of any Indian millitary base in Tajikistan. I will edit the article, please do not remove my edits.
Below is a link to an article in main Tajik news agency, AsiaPlus, with quotes form Tajik officals denying reports about Indian military bases in Tajikistan:

Also, here is a link to article in a Western information and analytical resource on Eurasia, EurasiaNet, explaining why Indian attempts to establish military presence in Tajikistan have failed so far:

Morover, India has never been a "major donor" of Tajikistan. Main donors of Tajikistan have been Russia, China, Iran, USA and EU:

message: :(copied from Talk:List of countries with overseas military bases)
I made a quick search on the subject to see what I could find, and found that there's been lots of speculations, hopes and plans, but there's still no operating Indian Air Force base in Tajikistan. And the main reason for that is that Russia won't allow it. For recent sources see Russia Beyond: ; Mail Online India: ; The Diplomat: . Or to sum things up: there is no Indian air base in Tajikistan, has never been any, and most probably won't be any either.- Tom | Thomas.W  talk 21:30, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  There is no Indian air base in Tajikistan, and has never been one, since Russia wouldn't allow it... 

message: Dear  I have removed the category about being a former Soviet military air base as I have seen the questions dating back to 2005 at the top of this page saying no-one could find evidence of Soviet use; checked www.ww2.dk/new/ which appears to show that there were only Anti-Aircraft Rocket Regiments of the PVO in Tajikistan; and checked the Russian version of the article which only starts from 2005.
