Moscow has called on the opposing political forces of Afghanistan to focus on reaching national reconciliation, instead of taking steps that exacerbate disagreements, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. | |
Commenting on the two parallel presidential inauguration ceremonies that took place in Afghanistan, it urged all responsible political actors in the country “to adhere solely to common national interests.” | |
The national reconciliation process “should lead to end of the civil war and to the rebuilding of a peaceful, united and independent state, free of terrorism and drug-related crime,” the ministry said on Wednesday. | |
Moscow believes that the emerging internal political crisis, exacerbated by the two parallel inauguration ceremonies of Ashraf Ghani and his rival Abdullah Abdullah, could undermine the intra-Afghan talks. The prospect of the talks “appeared in the wake of the US-Taliban peace treaty signed in Doha on February 29,” according to the comment. |
