US Department of State Ned Price said that representatives of the Taliban terrorist movement (prohibited in Russia) reported the desire to dispose of a functioning commercial airport in Kabul. This question is discussed with the United States, reports RIA Novosti.
Price explained that one of the conditions that the States connect to the preservation of the Republic of the Republic with the outside world are perpetual guarantees of unimpeded tolerance to the airport for those who want to leave the country.
“Just on this front we have discussions with the Taliban. They gave us to understand in unequivocal expressions that they wanted to get a functioning commercial airport,” said price during the briefing.
Now Kabul Airport controls US troops using it for the evacuation of American citizens from Afghanistan, as well as their allies from locals.
Previously, General Stephen Lyons, the head of the transport command of the WED USA warned about a “significant threat” to airplanes in Kabul. However, he refused to call any details, explaining that there are good reasons for it.
