KABUL (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 19th September, 2018) Almost all lawmakers of Afghanistan's Federal parliament spoke for a revision of the security agreement with the United States in light of Washington's failure to fulfill its obligations, Shabaz Naseri, the chairman of the defense and security commission of the National Assembly, told Sputnik.
"We signed a security agreement with the US [allowing the US military to stay in Afghanistan after 2014], but the US does not think about security, and does not comply with the agreement at all," Naseri said.
"Almost all the lawmakers agreed that its provisions need to be reviewed. The security in Afghanistan is what our people and neighboring countries are striving for," he said.
Naseri said a number of Afghan political leaders and elders decided to counter the US presence if security in the country is not ensured.
