France does not intend to recognize the “Taliban” radical movement (prohibited in Russia), whose representatives fully captured power in Afghanistan. The question of the recognition of radicals commented on the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic Jean-Yves Drian in an interview with the Journal Du Dimanche newspaper.
According to him, Paris expects the Talibans to perform their promises to the formation of an “inclusive” government, as well as compliance with the rights and freedoms of all sections of the Afghan society. The diplomat noted that the Taliban must resolve the territory of the country to those Afghans, whose lives are under threat, as well as break ties with terrorists.
“Are we going to recognize the power of the Taliban that captured the country by force? I clearly answer this question: no,” said Le Drian. The minister also added that to resolve the current situation in the country, it is necessary to go beyond the format of a large seven and NATO and connect Russia, China and Iran to cooperate.
Previously, the Special Representative of the President of Russia in Afghanistan, director of the Second Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zamir Kabulov said that Moscow would not hurry with the recognition of the regime of the Taliban’s radical movement in Afghanistan. Russia intends to observe the behavior of the Taliban. At the moment, workers are installed with them.
Supreme Representative of the European Union (EU) on Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrel stated that the EU recognizes the victory of the Taliban in Afghanistan and plans to begin a dialogue with a new government to prevent humanitarian and migration crises.
August 15 “Taliban” announced that he holds under control the territory of Afghanistan after his militants entered the capital of Kabul. President Ashraf Gani left the country, explaining this to the desire to avoid bloodshed.
