The head of the Center for Strategic Studies under the President of Tajikistan, Khairiddin Usmonzoda, explained the reasons for the failed negotiations in Tajikistan.

Khairiddin Usmonzoda, recently appointed director of the Center for Contemporary Art of Tajikistan, regarding the failed negotiations between representatives of Afghan political movements and ethnic groups, including the Afghan National Resistance Front led by Ahmad Masud and the Taliban government in Dushanbe, said that these negotiations did not take place due to the fact that that the parties could not reach a compromise.

And this despite the fact that the creation of conditions for negotiations was agreed during the visit of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan to Tajikistan and his meeting with President Emomali Rahmon in September 2021.

At the time, this decision was warmly received by the Tajik public, and some described it as Emomali Rahmon’s success in protecting the rights of Tajiks in Afghanistan. However, the meeting in Tajikistan did not take place and talks between the two groups were reported from Tehran and Moscow.
