Former President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai responded to statements by European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas, saying that Afghanistan and its people are victims of terrorism created by Pakistan. In a statement released today, Karzai expressed hope that Kallas would look at the events through "objective facts." According to Karzai, the current crisis in Afghanistan cannot be properly assessed without considering terrorism originating from Pakistan and its regional consequences. The former president emphasized that the main factors leading to widespread loss of life and destruction of public infrastructure in Afghanistan should not be ignored. In his statement, he requested that the main causes of the current crisis in the region be addressed within this framework. Kallas, a day earlier at a joint press conference with the Pakistani Foreign Minister in Islamabad, touched on the tension between the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Kallas said that Pakistan has the right to defend itself and its people under international law, but the best solution in this case is dialogue, not bombing. The European Union official also stated that the conflict has severe humanitarian consequences and increases the risk of instability and the strengthening of extremism. Therefore, the European Union continuously calls on the parties to exercise restraint and seeks to reduce tensions. In his statement, Karzai argued that Pakistan's security problems over the last forty years are the result of its own policies. According to him, these policies are based on supporting extremism and using it as a tool of foreign policy. Karzai also thanked EU member countries and institutions for their cooperation with Afghanistan. He expressed hope that relations between the European Union and Afghanistan would strengthen further. Since the Taliban regained control in Afghanistan, border tensions with Pakistan and accusations involving armed groups in Afghanistan have escalated repeatedly. Pakistan claims that attacks against it have been launched from Afghan territory; during this period, various regions of Afghanistan have also been targeted by air and rocket attacks. These attacks have caused civilian casualties and significant damage, as reflected in United Nations reports. The tension between the parties makes both border security and the humanitarian situation in the region more fragile.
