The head of Russias Federal Security Service (FSB) has called for working with the Taliban in combating drug and arms trafficking despite the militant movement being officially recognized as a terrorist organization in the country, the Interfax news agency reported Tuesday.FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov made the remarks during a meeting of intelligence and security agency chiefs from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a regional organization of former Soviet republics.In light of the Talibans measures against ISIS, I believe it is possible to establish constructive cooperation with the Afghan authorities and their special services in this area, Bortnikov was quoted as saying by Interfax.The FSB chief has previously supported removing the Taliban from Russias list of terrorist organizations, adding that Russia is finalizing the issue of removing the Taliban from the list.Earlier on Tuesday, a bill proposing the Talibans removal from the list was submitted to the lower-house State Duma.If passed, the legislation would enable Russias Prosecutor General to petition for an organizations temporary removal from the list if it can be demonstrated that the group has ceased activities supporting or promoting terrorism in Russia.Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed the Kremlins support for such a move, saying that it is very important to develop contacts with them [the Taliban], especially since this is a neighboring region.
