Turkey's offer to secure Kabul airport may prove risky 12 Jul 2021, 13:55 GMT+10 By John SolomouNicosia [Cyprus], July 12 (ANI): The proposal made by Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to US President Joe Biden last month on the sidelines of a NATO summit that Turkey could undertake the security of the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul after NATO's withdrawal from Afghanistan could be a bargaining chip for improving Ankara's relationship with Washington but given the resurgence of the Taliban it could turn into a nightmare in the long run, unless it is handled very skillfully and with the utmost caution. Erdogan told Biden that Turkey could run security at the airport if the US provided it with the necessary "diplomatic, logistical and financial support."Ankara wants to collaborate with Pakistan and Hungary in this task. In their first face to face meeting, Erdogan and Biden did not make much progress on the main disputes that have poisoned Turkish-US relations in recent years, but Erdogan indicated that there is a possible consensus on Afghanistan.
