"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.
„Ako Turska bude tako ljubazna da obezbedi takvu lokaciju, mi, vlada Avganistana, bićemo sretni i zadovoljni da vidimo ostvarenje te mogućnosti“, rekao je avganistanski predsednik Hamid Karzai posle sastanka sa turskim kolegom Abdulahom Gulom 23. decembra, na marginama 11. Samita Organizacije ekonomske saradnje.
