"The military personnel visited areas located in the south of Tajikistan, covering a total distance of about 1,000 kilometers [621 miles]. Assistance in processing materials and expanding the list of uploaded documents was provided to residents of settlements in southern Tajikistan: Bokhtar, Dusti, Balkhi, Kulob, Qumsangir and the border village of Panj," the statement read.
The military has digitized over 300 documents of WWII veterans and home front workers.
