Russian envoy: NATO 2014 Afghan pullout premature
NATO's plans to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan and transfer security to Afghan forces by the end of 2014 are premature, a Russian envoy said on Thursday.
"It is too early to talk about results and premature in Afghanistan because the situation is in a permanent state of degradation," Zamir Kabulov, presidential envoy and former Russian ambassador to Afghanistan, told reporters. (Reuters)
