KABUL: The Ministry of National Defense of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, in a statement, said today that the transfer of Afghanistan’s helicopters from Uzbekistan to the United States is unacceptable.
The ministry asserted that the helicopters were transferred to Uzbekistan during the escape of former officials belonging to Afghanistan.
“Afghans have the right to inquire about their rights and demand their return, and neighboring countries should respect this right,” the statement said.
The statement also called on the U.S. government to return the transferred helicopters to Afghanistan.
According to reports, seven Black Hawk helicopters belonging to Afghanistan were recently transferred from Uzbekistan to the United States.
