Kabul – Despite repeated warnings, the Taliban has given a new warning to Turkey, which is adamant about its military presence in Afghanistan. The Taliban has threatened that the Turkish troops will not be allowed to set foot on Afghan soil. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on the United States to help him gain a foothold in Afghanistan.
Speaking to a Russian news agency two days ago, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid once again opposed Turkey’s deployment in Afghanistan. ‘Turkey’s support for peace and development in Afghanistan will be accepted at the political level. But the deployment of Turkish troops in Afghanistan will not be tolerated,’ Mujahid said.
Turkey has announced that it will deploy troops to secure the International Airport of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. But Turkey, a NATO member, should withdraw from Afghanistan along with its allies. Earlier, the Taliban had stated that even though Turkey is an Islamic country, it should not leave behind any of its troops to fight along with the West in the war in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, Pakistan has been accused of controlling the Taliban. As a result, some Turkish journalists have speculated that Pakistan may be behind Taliban’s stance against its military presence in Afghanistan.
