NATO asks Russians for info on Afghan troop withdrawal - The Agonist: "NATO made a secret request to the Russian militry for information on the 1989 withdrawal from Afghaistan.
NATO commanders have unofficially asked the Russian Defense Ministry for information on the Soviet troop withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989, in order to use the experience in the planned pull out from the country, a Russian newspaper has revealed.
NATO officials are interested in meeting the participants of the 1989 operation and also in a joint study of all related papers Kommersant daily wrote quoting unnamed sources in NATO.
The request was made in secret in order to not “draw parallels between the current coalition mission” and the Russian occupation of Afghanistan.
Too bad they didn’t meet before our 11 year occupation."
