Taliban no-show for talks indicates group wants to impose conditions - Pakistani Senator

Moscow, Apr 21 (Sputnik) The recent postponement of the Istanbul conference on Afghan peace demonstrates that the Taliban believe they have won the war and are in a position to impose their own terms and conditions, Pakistani Senator Sehar Kamran told Sputnik on Wednesday.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Tuesday that the conference, initially scheduled to start on April 24, would be postponed until after mid-May.
"I believe that Taliban think they have won the war and won’t accept anymore conditions by the US or any other parties of the peace summits. They are likely to impose their own terms and conditions in the coming days, because they believe that they have outlasted the American power and patience in Afghanistan. Now it is just a waiting game for them," Kamran said.
