UK COULD START PULLING TROOPS FROM AFGHANISTAN NEXT YEAR, PM SAYS
Baku, July 21 (AZERTAC). British troop numbers in Afghanistan could start falling as soon as next year, British Prime Minister David Cameron said Wednesday.
"But it should be based on the conditions on the ground," Cameron said in response to a BBC reporter.
"I don`t want to raise expectations about that, because that transition should be based on how well the security situation is progressing," he said.
The United Kingdom has the second-largest contingent of international forces in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban, after the United States.
