Turkey's Erdogan says he may meet with Taliban leadership
The speed of the Afghan insurgents' advances is "really troubling," Erdogan told CNN Turk.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan suggested Wednesday that he may meet with leadership of the Afghan Taliban as the insurgents sweep across the country amid NATO withdrawal.
“The latest developments and the situation of the Afghan public are really, really troubling," Erdogan told CNN Turk on Wednesday.
"Maybe I will even be in a position to receive the person who is their leader," he said.
Turkey’s government has offered to leave no more than 500 troops in Afghanistan to secure Kabul’s international airport after the United States and NATO complete their withdrawals later this month.
