During talks in Moscow, the President of Tajikistan Emomalii Rahmon and the United Tajik Opposition (UTO) signed agreements on military issues and the reintegration, disarmament and dismantling of UTO units. The Security Council took note of requests made by both parties regarding the implementation of the agreements. Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Tajikistan had deteriorated and there were attacks on UNMOT, the peacekeeping forces of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and other international personnel which necessitated the Secretary-General Kofi Annan's decision to suspend United Nations activities in Tajikistan apart from a limited presence of UNMOT.
