The government delegation of Afghanistan has not been interested in negotiations with the Taliban for a year and a half or two years
Sambek (Rostov region). August 13. INTERFAX-Moscow regrets that the Taliban (the Taliban movement, banned in the Russian Federation) are trying to resolve the situation in Afghanistan by force, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday.
"We are for the Afghan settlement to take place with the participation of all political, ethnic, confessional forces of this country. Unfortunately, the processes approved by the UN Security Council have now stalled. The Government delegation has not been very interested in resuming these negotiations for a year and a half or two years. Against this background, again, unfortunately, the Taliban decided to try to resolve the situation by military means: they are conquering more and more cities, counties, " he said, answering a question from journalists.
