Afghanistan: Iran will not recognize Kabul until govt is inclusive

KABUL, 04 December 2022, (TON): Iran’s ambassador in Kabul said that his country will not recognize the current Afghan government unless its government is inclusive.

He made the remarks in a special interview with media Bahram Aman in Kabul. Ambassador Bahadur Aminian said that Tehran might persuade other countries to recognize the Afghan government if the Islamic Emirate brings reforms to its government structure.

He said “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.”

But the Islamic Emirate said Aminian’s remarks are an attempt to interfere in Afghan affairs.

“Is the government or the cabinet of Iran based on other people’s definition of inclusive?” said Inamullah Samangani, deputy spokesman for the Islamic Emirate.

“Every country has their own definition of inclusive government based on their national interests.”
