Kyrgyzstan’s President Sadyr Japarov, in an interview with Turkish news outlet TRT Avaz, urged the leaders of European countries and the United States to acknowledge the dire living conditions of the Afghan people and to recognize the Islamic Emirate. He emphasized the importance of addressing Afghanistan’s humanitarian and political challenges on the global stage.
Regarding the frozen assets of Afghanistan by the US, he called for the release of these funds, arguing they could be used to develop Afghanistan’s infrastructure, agriculture, and alleviate poverty.
Japarov said: “Currently, the people of Afghanistan are living on the verge of starvation. Therefore, I call on the leaders of European countries and the US administration, knowing this situation, to recognize the current government of Afghanistan and to release their frozen reserves for the future of Afghans.”
During the interview, he was asked if the Islamic Emirate will react positively to the proposal of Sadyr Japarov, he said: “Of course they will. When it comes to the development of their country and the welfare of the people, why should they be against it? I am sure that they themselves know very well that they cannot stay in power for long if they do not work for their own people.”
Japarov referred to women’s rights and education as important in Islam.
He stated: “Education and women’s rights are very important in Islam. Islam brought hope to the oppressed, respect and rights for women. Science also has a very important place in Islam.”
In his remarks, Japarov called dialogue the only way of convincing the interim government, saying: “I think we can only convince the Taliban leaders through dialogue. The more often we meet and talk, the more we will influence them. Afghans are one of the peoples of the East, and so if we give them special treatment, we can get a positive result.”
This is while countries in the region, including China, Russia, Uzbekistan, and some other nations, have consistently emphasized engagement with Afghanistan’s interim government.
