Turkey's government is exploring ways to keep its soldiers stationed at Kabul international airport even after the Taliban have seized control of Afghanistan, two Turkish officials told Middle East Eye.

“Turkey still could secure the Kabul airport and it could help the Taliban to obtain a diplomatic presence in Kabul. It might help them to get the diplomatic recognition they wanted,” the Turkish official added. “If they don’t want us, we can leave.”

“We aren’t invaders and the Taliban knows this. We only have 600 troops there anyway,” the Turkish official said

Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar told Sabah newspaper on Monday that if Turkey isn’t wanted, “we can evacuate our soldiers in 24 hours”

• Yerevan will withdraw additional two raions in 15 days

The draft deal
