Iran will not Recognize Single Ethnic Group Rule in Afghanistan: Envoy
The Iranian ambassador in Kabul says Tehran will recognize an inclusive government in Afghanistan, adding that the current rule is not inclusive.
The Iranian ambassador in Kabul says Tehran will recognize an inclusive government in Afghanistan, adding that the current rule is not inclusive.
Iranian Ambassador Bahadur Aminian said that Tehran might persuade other countries to recognize the Afghan government if the Islamic Emirate brings reforms to its governance structure.
“If a group comes (to power) and the group is (comprised) of a single ethnic group and all other ethnic groups are not included in the government, we don’t accept it, and, therefore, we benevolently call on the Taliban rulers to form an inclusive government,” said Aminian in an interview with TOLO News.
The envoy warned that the current economic crisis will pave the way for extremism, particularly for ISIS-K.
“If the economic problems remain, it will cause more migration. If the economic problems remain, they will cause extremism, which will not only threaten Afghanistan but also the region,” he added.
The Taliban, however, describes regional comments on inclusive government in Afghanistan as interference in state affairs.
