Bush coalition helping spread of Democracy. myafghan.com Putin signs declaration with ex-Afghan president Rabbani DUSHANBE, Oct 22 (AFP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a joint statement here Monday with his Tajik counterpart Emomali Rakhmonov and deposed Afghan president Burhanuddin Rabbani on "the need to find a political solution in Afghanistan". "All the ethnic groups should take part in forming the next Afghan government," and that process should involve the United Nations "and all foreign governments," the signatories said in their joint statement read out to reporters by a Tajik presidential spokesman. "Permanent consultations" will be set up "at the highest level" added Moscow, Dushanbe and the Afghan government in exile. Tajikistan, which has a 1,200-kilometre (800-mile) border with Afghanistan, is a key base for the anti-Taliban opposition. Rabbani was deposed by the Taliban in 1996 but is still recognised as Afghanistan's president by the United Nations and most states. His forces in the opposition Northern Alliance still hold the northeastern part of the country.
