Erdogan-Biden Meeting: Turkey Wants To Take Lead In Afghanistan

Click to see full-size image

On June 14th, US President Joe Biden and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a meeting, which was categorized as “good”.

Both leaders confirmed their willingness to restore strained ties and increase cooperation.

“In our meeting with Mr. Biden, we constructively handled issues that we differ on as well as areas of cooperation. We agreed to keep Turkey-U.S. dialogue channels open just like how strategic partners and allies do,” President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said after meeting Joe Biden in a closed-door meeting earlier in the day during the NATO summit in Brussels.

“We are going to increase our cooperation with the U.S. There is no problem between us that cannot be solved,” the president told a press conference.

“We believe that cooperation between the U.S. and Turkey will contribute to regional security,” he said.

Erdoğan also said that “a strong will” is evident for the beginning of an efficient period of cooperation in Turkey-U.S. relations, “based on mutual respect and interests in every field.”

For his part, Biden said the meeting with Erdoğan was “positive.”

“Our two countries have big agendas. Our teams will continue discussions and I’m confident we will make real progress between the U.S. and Turkey.”

Notably, Erdogan said that after the US and other NATO states failed in Afghanistan, the time had come for Ankara to take the wheel, and Washington could trust it to restore normality in the Central Asian country.

Erdogan suggested that Turkey could run Kabul airport after the departure of US forces by September 11th.

“The U.S.’ diplomatic, logistical and financial support is important in the case of a sustained Turkish presence in Afghanistan. We also conveyed to President Biden our desire to work alongside Pakistan and Hungary,” he said.

“We conveyed Turkey’s expectations and grievances to our counterparts,” Erdoğan also added with regards to the fight against terrorism.

“There should be no double standards in anti-terror efforts and it should be known that one terrorist group cannot be defeated with another,” Erdoğan added, pointing to U.S. support of the PKK terrorist group’s Syrian wing the YPG.

“Turkey is the only NATO country that fought against Daesh terror on the ground,” he said.

“In addition, YPG terrorists just killed 14 innocent civilians in their attacks against the Shifa Hospital in Idlib. This should tell (you) a story about the nature of PKK/YPG terrorists too.”

“Our expectation is that our allies cut their support to those terrorists,” he concluded.

The Russian S-400 system that Turkey purchased was not mentioned.

“On the issue of S-400s, I told (Biden) the same thing I had in the past,” Erdoğan said.

“I raised the issue of F-35s,” he added, signaling that he wanted Turkey admitted back into the program.

“I told him what joint steps we can take on the defense industry.”

The meeting followed Biden’s first in-person NATO summit, which he entered with a vow to reaffirm the United States’ commitment to a military alliance his predecessor viewed with disdain.

Biden focused on Russia and China and the cyber threats emanating from both countries during the summit. A final communiqué issued by the group highlighted the “threat” presented by Russia and the “challenges” posed by China following the meeting on Monday.

The NATO leaders also largely backed Biden’s decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, according to a senior administration official. The group agreed to provide “transitional funding” to keep the Kabul International Airport open, and Turkey — a NATO member state — committed to keeping troops in the country to safeguard the facility.

The Taliban remains undefeated by the US and Russia, what can Turkey do ???

Frankly

The Taliban is Sunni Muslim, with strong Islamic ideals just like Erdogan. Taliban’s spokesman called Turkey a “great Muslim country” despite saying Turkey should leave since it was part of the NATO mission. this is a level of praise rarely heard from the Taliban. Which means they like what Erdogan is doing. I’m sure the Taliban and Turkey will get along fine in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is rich in mineral resources and will be a great arms market for Turkey when the Taliban finally topple Kabul.

STFU pig Turkic Zion, there are Shi’a Afghanis in Iran and Afghanistan who wouldn’t let some Wahhabi cult take the power. Even now part of Afghanistan are under Shi’a groups.

Turkic are like the US they think they are powerful countries. Turkey is not even an Islamic country…they have gays and their women are on sale for the West. It is a fake Islam country…just like their brothers (Turkic Zion/ Turkic “jews”) stealing land from Palestine/Arabs. Using religion as a PR move.

Taliban are not stupid people they know Turkic kinds. “what can Turkey do?” First, you need to understand what Turk-isis doing in Afghanistan. Turk-isis provided security for Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan being a landlocked country the easiest and SAFE way in and out is by air.

Now, what would Turk-isis role be after the NATO leaves, and what BS this Jinn is saying. Russia will not let any based be made in CA (Central Asia) and Pakistan wouldn’t let the yankees in as well. That airport is much more important now, the US has to fly their drones from UAE to Afghanistan. For CIA and their dogs in Afghanistan to be sent in and out. To do their dirty works.

At the end of the day, Turkey has no power in Afghanistan the US Zi-on-backed government in Afghanistan is most likely to fail or S-hi’a takes the power and cut the country with the Taliban. Taliban made the deal in Qatar, not Turkey…that goes to show and say the Taliban work with the Gulf States and Pakistan. The Shi’s Afghani don’t like Turkey, a matter of fact Iran pay Afghani and Pak Shi’a to fight ISIL and Turkic in Syria and even in Iraq before.

A Clown like you

Remember those Shi’a Afghani soldiers in Iran and Afghanistan. Iran has much more power in Afghanistan than the US and Turkey you could say, Afghani Shi’a are there and they fight for themselves. Why no one talks about that important fact shows how much people don’t know about Afghanistan.

Turkey seeks strategic depth in Afghanistan and this worries Russia. Biden has no option but to work with Turkey in Afghanistan. Taliban will not tolerate any non-Muslim country having troops on the ground in Afghanistan.

“We believe that cooperation between the U.S. and Turkey will contribute to regional security,” he said. Both Turkic Zion and Turkic are placed in hell for good. Turkic – Zion are both satanic people. Sending hundreds of Wahhabi Sunnis into Iraq and Syria, yeah that what he means by “regional security” FOR themselves not Muslims but Turkic Zion.

The US never had a problem with Turkic Zion in Turkey – they are with Zion in Palestine. Trump let Turkic Zion in Palestine order the US…that is why we saw so much movements from Turkic Zion in Turkey.

The U.S.’ diplomatic, logistical and financial support is important in the case of a sustained Turkish presence in Afghanistan. We also conveyed to President Biden our desire to work alongside Pakistan and Hungary,” he said. Taliban doesn’t want Turkic Zion and told them to fuk off with yankees from Afghanistan BTW. FACTS, eat shit before you Tukic Zion at me, “Turkey’s troops should leave Afghanistan under 2020 deal: Taliban” https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/6/11/turkeys-troops-should-leave-afghanistan-under-2020-deal-taliban

“Turkey is the only NATO country that fought against Daesh terror on the ground,” he said. NEVER trust Turkic they are a part of the Zionism cult. More facts right here.

“I told him what joint steps we can take on the defense industry.” Turkic like their brothers and their Wahhabism cult ofc want some of the money from the “defense industry” as well.

Look at those Turkic-Zion Jinns, they can burn in hell for all I care.
