Ankara transfers Taliban leader’s families to luxury homes in exchange for terrorist operations
It seems that the relations between Turkey and the Taliban are not limited to the goal of operating the airport in the Afghan capital Kabul, or exchanging friendly statements. Rather, they have reached another and more dangerous point, which is the transfer of the families of the movement to luxurious areas in exchange for carrying out terrorist operations.
Turkey transfers Taliban families
Turkish website “Turkey24” revealed that Ankara hosts the families of the Taliban leader and provides them with housing in fancy areas in return for carrying out plans to organize terrorist operations in different areas.
The order to provide luxury homes comes in exchange for plans to organize terrorist operations in various regions, the Turkish website said, as Turkey welcomes the Taliban leader’s family and provides them with housing in luxury areas in Turkey.
Claims by the Foreign Secretary
“So alleged warnings were issued to conceal these plots, with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu warning of a new wave of migration from Afghanistan after the Taliban took control.”
Cavusoglu said at a press conference in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia: “There is a migration crisis in the world and there may be a new wave of migration, and this is very possible.”
Oglu added: “If migration from Afghanistan turns into a crisis, Europe and countries in the region will also be affected, and lessons must be learned from the Syrian refugee crisis.”
Refugees in Turkey
Turkey is hosting some 4 million refugees, mostly Syrians, and has beefed up security along its border with Iran to prevent a new flow of migrants from Afghanistan through Iran, according to Turkey 24.
He said Turkey recognized the international recognition of the Taliban movement, which sought to control 65% of Afghanistan’s territory, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s statement that it may accept its leader, Haibatullah Akhundzada, in the coming period.
In a television interview with Turkish CNN, Erdogan said: “Our relevant institutions are taking the necessary action, including talks with the Taliban, on developments in Afghanistan and to meet with their leaders in the coming period.”
He pointed out that according to Erdogan’s statements, the Taliban represent the most important recognition from a big country like Turkey that the security of Kabul airport does not require such a step, as talks at a lower level are possible.
Turkey is currently deploying associated elements in Afghanistan as part of the NATO force and has offered to secure the strategic Kabul airport after the departure of US troops.
Turkey, a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization that has been fighting the Taliban for 20 years, aims to replace the US in terms of economy and security, and the vital region of Central Asia.
