Removing the Taliban movement (banned in Russia) from the list of terrorist organizations depends on the concrete actions and policies of its representatives, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio station on Thursday.
"This is an issue that follows from specific actions, steps and policies. It is not solved in theory, it is solved in practice," she said. - "Everything will be measured on the basis of real actions."
According to Zakharova, Moscow is recording all statements by the Taliban, in particular about their rejection of extremist activities. "These statements, which now go literally every hour, about the desire, the desire, the intention to conduct an internal political dialogue. Among other things, the Taliban name specific actors, actors, political forces with whom they are ready to talk and negotiate inside Afghanistan. We are recording all this and forming our position," the diplomat added.
Taliban militants entered Kabul without a fight on August 15 and took complete control of the Afghan capital within hours. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said he was leaving the country to prevent bloodshed. Amrullah Saleh, vice-president of the republic, said that in the absence of the head of state, he became acting head of the country by the constitution, and called for armed resistance to the Taliban.
