Özet:

 

Any political solution to the present conflict in Afghanistan has thus to take into account not  only the fighting factions inside Afghanistan  presently limited to the dominant Taliban and to  commander Ahmad Shah Masood, who is their only real military challenge , but also the  interests of the neighbouring countries. These interests are expressed sometimes in terms of  assets  for Pakistan and Turkmenistan, who see in Afghanistan an opportunity to extend their  regional influence  and sometimes in terms of liabilities  for Iran and Uzbekistan, who  consider the country a source of problems and not as part of their sphere of influence , while  Russia and India consider Afghanistan in a broader picture. For the Russians the war is a good  opportunity to keep their influence in Tajikistan, while for India it is one of the few potential  leverages it can use to put pressure on Pakistan in retaliation for Islamabad's growing use of  the Kashmir issue. Small Tajikistan, on the other hand, is increasingly embroiled in the  Afghan issue, for good or bad reasons  including ethnic solidarity and drug trafficking .
