End of Istanbul talks; Taliban refuse to recognize TTP as terrorist group

Elaha Tue Oct 2025 1 month ago 100

According to sources, Pakistan has requested that the Taliban declare the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) a terrorist organization and take action against the group on Afghan soil. However, the Taliban refused to recognize the TTP as a terrorist organization and declined to take action against the group in Afghanistan.


Pakistan considers countering groups like the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) one of its most critical demands, a claim that the Taliban has either completely rejected or explained differently, insisting that addressing such threats should be pursued within an internal framework and through cooperation between the two countries.


The Taliban-Pakistan negotiations in Istanbul are being mediated by Turkey, with the aim of reaching an agreement for a long-term ceasefire and establishing a joint monitoring mechanism. However, the two sides have differing perspectives on the negotiation process.


Two Pakistani security sources told Reuters that the Taliban delegation has not shown the necessary cooperation in the talks.


The first round of Taliban-Pakistan talks was held on October 19 in Doha, hosted by Qatar, and the two sides signed a ceasefire agreement at its conclusion.


Recent clashes began following a Pakistani airstrike on Kabul earlier this month, which, according to Pakistani officials, targeted the leader of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). In response, the Taliban attacked Pakistani military outposts along the 2,600-kilometer border.


Islamabad accuses the Taliban of allowing TTP members to use Afghan soil to launch attacks on Pakistani forces, an accusation that the Taliban has strongly denied.

Reliable sources confirm that the third day of talks between the Taliban and Pakistani delegations in Istanbul ended without reaching an agreement.
