Russian Security Council Secretary Warns IS Syrian Scenario Can Be Repeated in Afghanistan

Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev on Wednesday warned other participants of multilateral consultations on the Afghan settlement that the Syrian scenario could be repeated in Afghanistan.

TEHRAN (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 26th September, 2018) Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev on Wednesday warned other participants of multilateral consultations on the Afghan settlement that the Syrian scenario could be repeated in Afghanistan.

"Today we can say that there is a danger of a repeat of this scenario in Afghanistan," Patrushev said, as quoted by his spokesman Evgeny Anoshin.

According to the spokesman, Patrushev noted that activities of the Islamic State terrorist group (IS, banned in Russia) had contributed to deterioration of the situation in Afghanistan, pointing out that back in 2014 nobody considered IS a serious danger to Iraq and Syria.
