Erdogan accused West: “Billions were not spent on Afghan people”

“Western countries for many decades did not pay due attention to the development of Afghanistan. Billions of dollars were spent on other purposes, and the Afghan people eventually left alone with their problems,” said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in a conversation with journalists after Friday prayer in Istanbul.

According to Anadolu, the Turkish leader did not rule out the dialogue with the movement “Taliban”.

“Realities is evident. If a similar offer is received, we are open to negotiation,” Erdogan said.

The head of state stressed that Turkey has been demonstrating a clear approach to the development of the infrastructure of Afghanistan. “Works in this direction continues to this day,” said Turkish leader.
