Afghanistan marks anniversary of invasion

The Taleban authorities in Afghanistan have marked the seventeenth anniversary of the Soviet invasion of the country with a demonstration and speeches in Kabul.

Speakers accused both Russia and Iran of continuing to interfere in the internal affairs of Afghanistan.

They also accused the anti-Taleban alliance of seeking help from Russia.
