Russia and Iran ready to mediate to resolve tensions/Experts: “Pakistan is implementing Western projects in the region and cannot be trusted”

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: Concerns increased after Pakistan announced that it has commitments to the United States in its relations with Afghanistan. According to many experts, these commitments, in whatever field, open America’s hand in the region and provide more opportunities to implement Western colonial policies. What is certain is that the policies that the United States is implementing in the region through Pakistan are understandable and a cause for concern for Iran and Russia.

 

Pakistan's invasion of Afghan territory, sending a delegation to Qatar and Turkey, while simultaneously blocking trade routes, pressuring refugees, making unreasonable demands, and sabotaging talks under various pretexts, showed that Pakistan deliberately does not want the talks to reach the desired outcome.

 

On the other hand, Pakistan's Defense Minister officially announced yesterday a renewed military invasion of Afghanistan and said that a verbal commitment to the Afghan leaders is unacceptable and a written commitment must be presented. This is while Pakistan has not even adhered to written commitments and has always, contrary to its declared policies, fueled tension and increased tensions between the two countries.

 

Political experts have also accused Pakistan of projection and a dual and contradictory policy against Afghanistan, saying that the world knows that Pakistan's demands and the country's conditions are unreasonable and an obstacle to talks and diplomacy, but it still insists on it.

 

Pakistan is the implementer of Western projects in the region

Dr. Mohammad Akram Azimi, a political analyst, said in an interview with Ava: "Considering Pakistan's dual and contradictory policies, which on the one hand threaten military attacks and make impossible demands from Afghanistan, and on the other hand demand dialogue, the tensions between the two countries have no political solution; unless Pakistan gives up its excesses or the TTP is contained and Pakistan is saved from internal insecurity."

 

He considered Russia and Iran's move to mediate wise, but emphasized that Turkey's role is more effective, given its good relations with Pakistan. Similarly, after the failure of the second round of negotiations, Recep Tayyip Erdogan sent a delegation to Pakistan, but its outcome is still unclear.

 

Referring to Western interventions, especially the US and UK, Mr. Azimi said: "The final decision in Pakistan is made by the country's military leaders, not civilian politicians. Therefore, Asim Munir is the one who will ultimately determine the fate of Afghanistan’s relations with Pakistan.”

 

According to him, Asim Munir has met with American officials, including Trump, three times and may have received instructions during these meetings. Therefore, the tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan are not free from Western interference.

 

He added: “America is not directly intervening at the moment, but is working through the implementer of its colonial policies in the region, especially Pakistan, to create crises and increase tensions. 50 years of experience in Afghanistan shows that the cause of many political instability and long-term wars has been the interference of foreigners, especially the West, and it seems that the current tension between Afghanistan and Pakistan is also part of Western projects.”

 

Pakistan is an unreliable country in political talks

Syed Qaribullah Sadat, a political affairs expert, also said in an interview with Ava: “Afghanistan’s negotiations with Pakistan were held based on the interest of the Afghan side and efforts were made to ensure that the talks did not lead to failure, but Pakistan disrupted the negotiations process under various pretexts.”

 

He appreciated the mediation of Qatar and Turkey and added: “If Russia and Iran also want to resume negotiations to resolve the tensions, it would be a good move. The Islamic Emirate and the people of Afghanistan are optimistic and welcome it, but unfortunately there is no trust in Pakistan.”

 

According to him, it is not unlikely that Pakistan will want to create tension in the region by implementing Western projects, but given the internal problems in the country, continuing tensions will be more to the detriment of Pakistan. Today, Pakistan’s path with India and Afghanistan is blocked and it does not have extensive relations with Iran, and this will isolate Pakistan.

 

He emphasized: “Pakistan’s military threat will not only be against Afghanistan, but also against the entire region, and neighboring countries, understanding the sensitivities of the issue and the interference of the US and the West, will not allow Pakistan to act indiscriminately against Afghanistan.”

 

He continued by describing Pakistan’s war-mongering policy as dictated by the US and the West, and said: “While the West wants instability in the region, the Afghan government and people want security and stability and have no problem with mediation and talks. Any country that takes action in this regard and can play an effective role so that at least the West’s colonial policies in the region are contained, the Afghan people will welcome it.”

 

Stating that Pakistan itself is the one who is creating the crisis in the region and must solve it itself, Mr. Sadat added: “Afghan authorities have repeatedly said that we cannot solve Pakistan’s internal problems. They must address these problems themselves, and it is Pakistan that is insisting on its unreasonable demands from Afghanistan.
