According to Western media reports, Gul Mohammad Zadran is supposed to; A diplomat of the Islamic Emirate will start his work at the Afghan consulate in Istanbul.
BBC has claimed that Mr. Zadran will currently work as an employee of this consulate; But it is not unlikely that he will take charge of the consulate as well.
Mr. Zadran was introduced six months ago by the Islamic Emirate and the Turkish government also accepted him. But due to some reasons, he could not start his work until now.
A large number of Afghan immigrants live in Turkey, especially in Istanbul, and the Afghan consulate in this city is considered one of the most important diplomatic centers of Afghanistan.
Recently, it was also confirmed that Iran will hand over the leadership of the Afghan embassy in Tehran to the representative of the Taliban.
The countries of Pakistan, Turkmenistan, China, Qatar and Russia have entrusted the Taliban representative to be in charge of the Afghan embassies in their capitals.
Based on this, it is expected that the Afghan consulate in Istanbul will be handed over to the Islamic Emirate soon, and this is not an unusual event. Rather, it is a step towards the development of the independent interaction of regional governments with the real government based in Kabul.
On the other hand, there is no doubt that this important step significantly helps to facilitate services and fulfill the legal, consular and legal needs of hundreds of thousands of Afghan citizens in Turkey; What is important about Iran is millions of times more than Turkey; Because in Iran, about six million Afghan refugees and refugees live, who need access to facilities and services that only an embassy connected to the government based in Kabul is able to provide.
However, what is going to happen in the Afghan consulate in Istanbul, in terms of content, is not different from what happened in Tehran and Mashhad. In addition, the decisions of the statesmen in Tehran and Istanbul to hand over the responsibility of the diplomatic missions of Afghanistan to the diplomats introduced by the Islamic Emirate, is not necessarily an unacceptable heresy; Rather, this is what has happened before in Pakistan, Turkmenistan, China, Qatar, Uzbekistan and Russia, and these countries have accepted all or part of the diplomats of the Islamic Emirate as legal representatives of the regime based in Kabul.
In the meantime, a number of hostile media outlets are trying to stop the decision of the Islamic Republic of Iran to agree to hand over the headship of the embassy to a diplomat who was previously working in the same embassy, by creating an atmosphere and fueling useless issues. Diplomats who have completed their legal mandate have shown it to be strange and illegal and interpret it in line with changing the clear stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran's foreign policy towards the Islamic Emirate. This is despite the fact that following these changes and relocations, the legal status of the embassy does not change.
In addition, as mentioned above, this is something that several other countries in the region and the world have done before; However, the actions of none of these countries were not noticed by the same media that are marginalizing Iran's decision, even to the extent of a simple news.
Another point is that if diplomatic interaction with the Islamic Emirate is illegal and illegitimate, then why do America, European countries, the United Nations and Islamic countries do it? It is obvious that such an interaction is based on mutual interests and without a doubt, useful and effective to resolve many issues, clarify and disambiguate controversial issues and try to achieve sustainable peace and establish political and ethnic justice in Afghanistan and Kabul has also shown that it is responsible and committed in responding to the concerns, questions and concerns of its neighbors and countries in the region and the world, and this is something that can be achieved within the scope of diplomatic interaction and the development of political relations between Afghanistan and the world.
In the meantime, the clumsy reaction of a number of fugitive leaders to handing over the headship of the Afghan embassy in Tehran to a diplomat of the Islamic Emirate is also due to their ignorance of the occurrence of this event in other countries, At the same time, with this unwise reaction, they showed that they still prefer their political and ethnic interests over the urgent needs of millions of Afghan people; As they fled the country, they left the people alone and bought luxury houses and built fabulous lives in the developed countries of the region and the world.
