Thursday, 5 March 2009Foreign Minister Ali Babacan has called for efforts to include pro-Taliban groups in Afghan politics in order to help stabilize the troubled country, saying that the dispatch of more troops is unlikely to resolve problems.
"We believe that some and indeed most of the groups that support the Taliban could be drawn into politics through negotiations. If this happens, the elections will have greater participation," Babacan told Turkish media on Monday, en route to Turkey from an international donor's conference for Gaza in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
