TASHKENT (Sputnik) - Reports about the alleged presence of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and other Afghan leaders in Uzbekistan do not correspond to reality, the Uzbek Foreign Ministry's Dune news agency reported on 17 August.
Earlier, a source close to the Afghan authorities told Sputnik that Ghani, who left Afghanistan on 15 August, was in the Sultanate of Oman. On Sunday evening, a Sputnik source said that Ghani had agreed to resign and flew from Kabul to Tajikistan for a flight to a third country. Reports of Ghani's presence in Kazakhstan and Tajikistan have been officially denied by the authorities of these states. Presumably, the US may become the final destination of Ghani.
