The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Reaction
to the Statements of the Russian Foreign Minister
Office of the Spokesman
06/25/2005
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic
Republic of Afghanistan noted, with deep regret, the recent
remarks by the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov.
The Russian Foreign Minister told a news briefing
after talks with NATO Secretary General that terrorists trained
in basis inside Afghanistan are targeting Central Asian States.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic
Republic of Afghanistan strongly rejects claims regarding the
presence of terrorist training camps in Afghanistan and considers
such allegations as totally baseless.
The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, a victim
of terrorism itself, is on the frontline of the war against
terrorism and is committed to continue the fight to remove this
international menace.
Afghanistan expects countries of the region to
sincerely join in the efforts to eliminate terrorist elements.
