According to the reports from Pakistani media, Officials from Pakistan in a meeting with some of the foreign ministers from NATO have stated that Taliban should be given political powers in Afghanistan and an allied government to be formed in Kabul and President Karzai may be excluded from that.

These expressions once more reveal the real intentions of Pakistani officials. The president and Afghan government officials have several times warned about the interference of Pakistan in this country and that Pakistan wants to bring its devotees back on the power and change Afghanistan to its strategic depth.

Meanwhile, expressing these kinds of issues is against the will of Afghan people and international community, which has completed the political structure through Bonn agreements in a democratic process in our country.

While criticizing on these kinds of opinions, we once more like to mention that this is the people of Afghanistan that decide about the members of Afghan government. The time when others were deciding about our destiny, is gone now. We are for coexistence and respect to the right of national sovereignty of other countries. Same as we do not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, we will not allow others to interfere in the internal affairs of our country.
