Irans speaker of parliament has criticized NATO, saying it is neither brave enough nor serious enough to eliminate terrorism in Afghanistan.

In a meeting with Afghan Parliament Speaker Abdul Rauf Ibrahimi on Tuesday, on the sidelines of the Second Meeting of Eurasian Parliament Speakers,the Speaker of Iran's Parliament, Ali Larijani,said that it was unnecessary for foreign troops to be in the country and that Afghanistan was capable of fighting terrorism on its own.

IRNA, Irans state news agency, said Larijani stated that NATO is in Afghanistan under the pretext of fighting terrorism but that their protracted presence in the country reveals that NATO is neither brave to fight terrorism nor is it serious in this respect.

Larijani also reportedly said that Iran will help Afghanistan in its fight against terrorism but that Tehran believes that reorganizing Afghan forces to fight terrorism is essential.

IRNA stated that Larijani said Iran underlines the need for unity among Afghan political forces because gaps among the forces will have plenty of negative impacts.

Condemning the recent twin terrorist attacks in Tehran, Ibrahimi said that Afghanistan is seeking a suitable solution to tackle terrorism so as to ensure it will not spread to neighboring states.

Larijani and Ibrahimi arrived in Seoul on Monday to Attend the Second Meeting of Eurasian Parliament Speakers.

First round of the event was held in Moscow last year with parliamentary officials of 20 countries in attendance.
