KABUL (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 19th September, 2018) Russia has a great influence in Asia and may have a significant impact on the security in Afghanistan but this process should take place without the participation of the United States and NATO member states, chairman of the defense and security commission of the National Assembly Shabaz Naseri told Sputnik.
"Russia as a strong and great power that has great influence in our region, if it wants, may greatly change the security situation in Afghanistan but this should happen without the participation of the United States and NATO," Nasseri said.
He noted that Washington and its allies were pursuing "their own goals" in Afghanistan while the country did not benefit from their presence.
