The Russian side supports the results of the Second Inter-Afghan Dialogue Conference held in Doha on July 7-8. This was stated by the Russian Foreign Ministry’s official spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova.
According to her, this meeting was basically a continuation of the conversation between representatives of a broad range of Afghanistan’s socio-political forces, including the armed opposition, which was started last February, and is aimed at launching a peace process in this country as soon as possible.
"We are satisfied that the participants of the meeting both in Moscow and Doha adopted a final statement reflecting their intention to steadily move towards an inter-Afghanistan peace," Zakharova said.
In Afghanistan’s current reality, according to the diplomat, such meetings are the only viable channel of communication not only for the confronting sides of the conflict but also for the key political forces of Afghanistan.
