Turkey to Withdraw from Kabul Airport

The Turkish Defence Ministry announced on Wednesday that it had begun withdrawing troops from Afghanistan, abandoning plans to assist in the security of Kabul’s Khamid Khazai International Airport, which would have been considered a strategic asset if the Taliban had not captured the city recently. Turkey wished to remain in Kabul after the United States troop withdrawal is completed on Tuesday. The Taliban, on the other hand, has requested that Turkey leave by August 31st.
