He pointed out that Turkey will continue to stay with the Afghan people as long as they want to, pointing to the importance of keeping the peace process alive in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan has been in war since 2001 when an international military coalition led by Washington overthrew the Taliban regime.
This is due to its association at the time with Al-Qaeda, which adopted the September 11 attacks of the same year in the United States.
The level of violence in Afghanistan has escalated since the beginning of last May, with the start of the final stage of the withdrawal of US forces by order of President Joe Biden last April, which is scheduled to be completed by next September 11.
