Moscow denies link to Fair Russia meeting on Afghanistan
Russia’s Foreign Ministry has said that it has no relation to a meeting on Afghanistan that is expected to be organized by “A Just Russia – For Truth” political party in Moscow this month.
“In principle, we assume that such conferences should be held with the participation of the Afghan authorities and the opposition in order to consolidate the Afghan society on a single nationwide platform and to contribute to resolving the issue of inter-Afghan reconciliation,” Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said.
“It seems to me that the estimates coming from Afghanistan say that this event is being viewed there as having different purposes, not matching with what I’ve suggested. In our opinion, such forums should be carefully organized taking into account the positions of key Afghan political players,” Zakharova said.
