Discussion on US-Taliban Negotiations
Let's be careful. There is a reason for this, which I don't have time to explain here.
Naturally, we entered the hall at that time and started our discussions.
Well, the discussions were going well, and there was no argument.
We were almost at the end of the discussions, about to enter the second part.
And at the end, I realized that during this very part we were talking,
Trump, in a highly threatening manner,
both towards the negotiating delegation,
and towards our president,
as well as regarding an attack on our land,
had spoken.
Right there, I told Mr. Vance, "Mr. Vance,
we are here having a discussion
and we have signed.
The first clause here is that there should be no threats or coercion,
but today, your president spoke of threats and coercion.
Know that we will never negotiate under threats and coercion.
We ended the negotiation and walked out of the meeting,
and we never returned to the meeting.
They even followed up on a meeting time so that
we could have a meeting with the American delegation in the presence of mediators.
We did not accept this.
We left the meeting.
But the honorable Prime Minister of Pakistan and Mr. Asim Munir...
In fact, the mediators, the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Qatar, they came
to see me, and we spoke together.
They had some points, and I said, "We will speak with you."
Their opinion was that, in any case, we should bring this matter to a conclusion.
We said, "We will speak with you, but for now, with the
American delegation, we have no talks."
Therefore, those talks, after the talks that had gone on for 80 minutes,
after it became clear that something had happened, we concluded them.
That conclusion was the very statement that our two mediators gave to the Pakistani side.
