KABUL (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 19th September, 2018) The decision of the Afghan authorities not to attend the Moscow meeting on the Afghan settlement has been imposed by the United States, Washington is not interested in resolving the conflict in the country, chairman of the defense and security commission of the National Assembly Shabaz Naseri told Sputnik in an interview.
"In my opinion, the representatives of the Afghan leadership refused to come because this decision has been imposed upon them 'from above' - from the United States.
In turn, the United States clearly understands that if Russia and regional powers manage to reach a compromise at this meeting, the US project in Afghanistan will come to an end," Naseri said.
The lawmaker noted that if the United States wanted to put an end to the war in Afghanistan jointly with Russia, it could have been achieved.
"But Washington does not need it, because they persuaded Kabul to diplomatically refrain from participation in this meeting," Naseri said.
