Turkey manages to take control of Kabul airport
After the Taliban (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) seized the authorities in Afghanistan, Turkey and Qatar took control of the country's main aviation artery. Specialists from the two countries arrived at the Kabul airport to cooperate with the Taliban in order to restore order and ensure security.
According to the head of the Islamic Party of Afghanistan, Gulbetdin Hikmatyar, who can take a significant post in the new government of the country, it is Ankara that is able to ensure the proper functioning of the Kabul air harbor. The Taliban now need to gain recognition from the international community, so the safety of foreign missions arriving in Kabul is of the utmost importance to them.
According to the Azeri newspaper Haqqin, a private company will be involved from Turkey, the staff of which consists of former military personnel. Thus, the state, as it were, is withdrawing itself from the Afghan events, which allows Ankara to avoid criticism of the negatively minded internal Turkish opposition and citizens sympathetic to it. As for Doha, the Taliban have long established friendly relations with the Qataris.
But why do the Turks need Kabul?
There is a danger of hunger in the country, there is not enough water. We are working to deliver humanitarian aid there. There is a risk of a wave of refugees
- noted the head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry Mevlut Cavusoglu (quote from Haqqin).
Thus, Turkey's main goal in Afghanistan is to counter possible migration flows through the airport in Kabul.
