Turkey will not send additional troops to Afghanistan as part of a plan to ensure security at Kabul airport after the withdrawal of US and NATO troops from the country, Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar noted.

Turkey has offered to guard and manage Hamid Karzai's airport after NATO's withdrawal and is negotiating with its allies, namely the United States, for logistical and financial support for the mission. According to the Turkish Defense Ministry, the US delegation will hold talks on this issue in Ankara.
