Russian Ambassador to Uzbekistan: Tashkent and Moscow are discussing the problem of refugees from Afghanistan
Tashkent and Moscow regularly discuss the problem of the influx of refugees from Afghanistan, it will be difficult to keep them.
The Russian Ambassador to Uzbekistan Oleg Malginov stated about this on September 10.
“New risks are a country in the south of Uzbekistan. An influx of refugees is possible, and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin discussed this issue with the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev several times, since the borders are quite transparent,” Malginov said, speaking in Tashkent at the Uzbek-Russian meeting on labor migration.
The ambassador noted that if refugees arrive “here suddenly in droves, they cannot be kept”.
“And these are security risks as well. Therefore, we will need to take this into account,” Malginov added.
The Taliban stepped up their offensive against government forces a month ago, entered Kabul on August 15, and announced the next day that the war was over. On the night of August 31, the US military left the Kabul airport, ending the nearly 20-year US military presence in Afghanistan.
The diplomat believes that the situation in Afghanistan remains unclear and it causes concern in a number of areas.
“Radical ideas can penetrate. Borders cannot save in this regard,” the ambassador concluded.
On September 6, the Taliban announced that Panjshir, the last of 34 Afghan provinces, had come under their control. The next day, the composition of the interim government of Afghanistan was announced.
