"Ako Turska bude ljubazna da obezbijedi takvu lokaciju, mi, vlada Afganistana, bili bismo sretni i zadovoljni da do tog posredovanja dođe," izjavio je afganistanski predsjednik Hamid Karzai nakon sastanka od 23. decembra sa svojim turskim kolegom Abdullahom Gulom na marginama 11. samita Organizacije za ekonomsku saradnju.
"If Turkey is kind enough to provide such a venue we, the government of Afghanistan, will be happy and pleased to see this facilitation take place," Afghan President Hamid Karzai said after a December 23rd meeting with Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul, on the sidelines of the 11th Economic Co-operation Organisation Summit.
