In the capital Dushanbe, talks had commenced between the government and opposition and this was welcomed by the Security Council. The primary responsibility of the parties was to settle their differences themselves, and international support depended on their efforts to do so.[2] Both parties had pledged to pursue peaceful reconciliation by way of concessions and compromises. The Council also drew attention to the unacceptability of hostilities on the border with Afghanistan.

The mandate of UNMOT was extended until 15 June 1996 on the condition that the Tehran Agreement and ceasefire remained in force and the parties would be committed to national reconciliation and the promotion of democracy. The Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali was requested to report on the situation every three months.

Concern was expressed at the slow progress in the peace talks and emphasised the need for the immediate implementation of confidence-building measures. Direct dialogue between the President Emomalii Rahmon and the leader of the Islamic Revival Movement was encouraged. The parties, UNMOT, the Commonwealth of Independent States peacekeeping forces, border troops and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe mission were also urged to work more closely.
