to withdraw its combat troops from afghanistan in four years' time but there are doubts whether kabul will be capable of managing security on its own in an interview with r.t. the afghan foreign minister says it's time for the country to stand on its own two feet. afghan foreign minister so let us all thank you very much for being with us today our pleasure mr foreign minister when soviet forces withdrew from afghanistan you have been publishing a resistance journal for eighteen years what did you and your compatriots expect for your country's future back then was usually afghanistan wanted to be free independent and sovereign country to be friendly with its neighbors the region and have his own destinies that are on her and that something that you wanted and

something that the afghans always will how would you describe the state of your nation as of today afghan people have been at war for the last of took two years since nine eleven two cards and one when international community came to afghanistan to liberate afghanistan from different of the taliban. afghanistan is fierce interment is trying just to rebuild that some of them because for thirty years of the war the country which solidly was a poor country has been completely destroyed for the challenges the hard rebuilding the country giving the normal life toward people are our children go to school to have a health care target you creation. that is what you're trying to do now who are or friends british defense chief general sir david richards said that nato should prepare for another thirty forty years to stay in afghanistan which makes

and mockery of their plans transition in two thousand and fourteen why do you need to change that strategy and do you think that strategy defeating the tribal opposition was right in the first place number one it's not a tribal position it is a fight against terrorism and extremism and to try. chief in this troubled people of the first victim of terrorism which are being killed every day. to date of two thousand and fourteen afghan proposal president karzai as the first inaugural speech in the second term signal afghanistan should take the responsibility of its own security starting by two thousand and eleven and if an issue by two thousand and fourteen that's been proposed and i dropped it in london and kabul conference by international community and it's been concretized and had that summit in lisbon that's a real things that afghanistan should be in the hands of afghans and the security of afghanistan is the responsibility of the afghans so starting by two thousand and

eleven and finishing by two thousand and fourteen the afghan national security forces will be in charge of security of afghanistan and the remaining force of international community need to another's will be supporting force not a fighting force how is the russian efforts to help the russian effort to what they help the war effort perceived in kabul i think russia is the great country. in the world is a great partner of afghanistan in the region and we seek the support and cooperation of russia for peace and security in afghanistan because the security in afghanistan the stability of afghanistan is not only for afghanistan it took effect disability and security of the region including russia so wonderful our product in war foreign policy the fight against terrorism and extremism and stability of afghanistan in the region is regional cooperation because the fight against terrorism and extremism is not only individual afghanistan it is

a regional issue so if you cannot find a solution in addition to a solution for it we'll be in deep trouble because that will continue and take longer time is nato presence threatening going terminal security in relations to your immediate neighbors who we have. been working through the worm to sure sure our neighbors the presence of new to allied forces in afghanistan is for security and stability in afghanistan for the fight against terrorism and extremism is not directed against any other country and so far you have kept it reassuring gordon it would be neat to have a regional cooperation as i mentioned to to defeat terrorism extremism kabul has very good relations with washington and with tehran just like russia is your government in a position to mediate between obama's and our money digits perspective administrations and maybe are you afraid of the repeat of the iraqi scenario when a war is waged just to satisfy a american demands iran is a great country

a nuclear neighbor of going to stand with whom we have a long historical dilution and we are seeking and having good dilution reviewed on united states afghanistan which are fighting terrorism and helping afghanistan a lot we see it but the relation between you danny united the benefit of afghanistan and the benefit of the region but in the same time we don't want to pay the price of the problem but you don't do it sir you told the un general assembly and i quote you to complement our efforts towards eliminating poppy production who wish to see greater action to counter smuggling of precursors into our country and to reduce demand and consumption of drugs in other countries as of today over two and a half million russians are addicted to afghan heroin this is where mr why has your administration and your allies failed to tackle the poppy production first of all the poppy production in afghanistan have to result of thirty years of war and

lawlessness and despair of the afghan people who do new tomorrow he's going to be a life or not you know security for your future. secondly when you came to our back to afghanistan in two thousand and eleven to two thousand and one two thousand to we don't have any institution. to fight it no police no judicial system no army and in that will take time before you can put. in place but the fight against not quite dick is also one of the priority of afghanistan because afghanistan will pay first for that suffer first before they are there will suffer from it and you're not taking the benefit off that because demand produced by the traffickers will go outside afghanistan and not stay in afghanistan so definitely it is there it is a major fight that we are engaged in doubt this fight cannot be done by afghanistan alone we need support of international community and we need the support of the regions by enforcement of law by the precursor which are not produced in

afghanistan has proved outside afghanistan and came inside afghanistan we will do our things our job to reduce and eliminate poppy cultivation afghanistan but also do a war in the region should do did it forced to reduce the demand because because because there is a demand the production of poppies there so it's a common effort commonly for reducing the cultivation giving too far out of afghanistan the alternative which they would accept to to grow something poppy to defilers the cost of a puppy have any viable alternative in the region of afghanistan which are under control of the afghan government which have been able to have been able to give a tentative yes they result has been very positive seen that in two important problems of afghanistan which has been traditionally poppy growing among their hard in the south in the east and by the action in the north when some project has been delivered irrigation project alternative. culture the production of culture

of poppy was going to do significantly what are their area which did as insecurity in your not in full control of course the production has been increased. so more and more the security will come and do more and more the afghan government will become in control listen this going to be popular according to experience that we have and other part of afghanistan mr foreign minister the outside world gets an impression that you and your government colleagues are only save within kabul compounds and unable to travel across your own country isn't this send a signal to taliban that there may be a winning. i don't know what's the impression of the outside world i'm inside afghanistan i travel practically all programs this myself and we are pointing all the gov source of district chief or so of small pockets of course afghanistan is still not under the control of the afghan government but the majority of

afghanistan is rude and controlled by the central government of afghanistan i think that's a perception which we do not share with them sir his forces have been accused of building black prisons in your countries where your citizens have been illegally detained and tortured. her the widely documented military excesses against your countrymen and again you shoe of president has been an issue an issue that has created tension between the united states and afghanistan there are two or three issues that has created tension because the issue of detainees be sure of civilian casualties division the issue of the night raids in the house this issue's has been discussed a very frank and friendly manner i think we are in the right part to sort of soon in the beginning of two thousand and twelve afghanistan will be charge of detainees all over afghanistan at the beginning of this.

taking charge of fifty nice and we are working with our lives to reduce the minimum of any meat in disarray and casualty but also issues of ninety eight that should be done by afghan national security forces more and more afghan forces will be in charge of the. but less than this would be described of problems elections have also been a lot in the news lately two elections have taken place since the nato led invasion both sat fraudulent with the rigging with results published only two months after the poll what do you say to those who claim when you and your allies are planning an unsustainable political system afghanistan a democratic system afghanistan after thirty years of war and lawlessness no government practically different kind of government. system democratic process is taking roots but you know you cannot make democracy in one day in your country especially in a country that had been at war for fifty years so i think that there are probably

going to be a problem and i think the problem on addiction is not only in a specific when afghanistan a lot of countries even more developed countries have hot has had problems in their direction but the process is going on. people. believing in democracy that's the reason people are complaining millions of people anybody difficult condition of security when to vote not a woman for the first time in afghanistan our winner and the election to be men not the place it's a dear good news with afghanistan but afghanistan cannot be switzerland or sweden and nine years mr foreign minister thank you very much for this interview and i wish you and your people every success in achieving peace and democracy in your country. wealthy british style.
