The expert on Middle East affairs, Hamida Rencuzogullari, told ANHA's agency that in order to give the United States of America a role for Turkey in Afghanistan to deal with the Taliban; This is a source of risk, she explained. "They are trying to legalize the Taliban administration in Afghanistan, especially through Turkey and Qatar."

Hamida Rencuzogullari, stated that Afghanistan was a candidate to become a new centre for the world war and noted that international forces would define a strategy to recognize or reject the Taliban in order to join that balance.

Proxy War Plan

Hamida Rencuzogullari explained that the American decision to withdraw military forces from Afghanistan and then withdraw from Iraq and Syria was under discussion, and said "Trump took the first step in this decision, but this policy is not about Republicans or Democrats; It's about the United States National Security Agency; Because the concept of proxy warfare has been in place for 10 years, and the proxy war in Syria has been in effect for 10 years, so the step of withdrawal from Iraq and Syria has been taken. "

United States left behind the Taliban
 

Hamida explained that the United States would leave behind a major mess when it withdrew from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. That was consistent with the recent American concept of war, and direct American intervention would not be military, but political and economic.

"That is essentially the goal that the United States of America wants to achieve; So when we look at it from this perspective we see that there is victory. On the other hand; It can no longer convince American citizens of these military interventions; Because the war because of the claim of "democracy" imposes heavy burdens on citizens (taxes). The claim of democracy has never been fulfilled, on the contrary. As we have seen in Afghanistan, the Taliban have been left behind and because of their loss of credibility, they have faced a breakdown in domestic policy, so they have decided to withdraw because they can no longer afford military action but will continue to intervene in other ways. "

American-Taliban Agreement

She explained that the Taliban have been in Afghanistan since 1979, stating some historical facts: "The United States of America has supported the Mujahideen in the war and trained them to overthrow the pro-Soviet Afghan administration. The Afghan government has requested Soviet military support., America and its allies launched a proxy war in the region, and created a basis for the Mujahideen.” who later became al-Qaeda.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Mujahideen of various countries returned to their countries and established Al Qaeda. But Afghan and Pakistani Mujahideen remained at Mujahideen bases. These Imams, especially from the Dioband Indian School, were trained with Pakistan's help to build the Taliban. The Taliban was therefore formerly present in Afghanistan with the help of the United States of America, and had territorial dominance.

She added, "Before and also after the 11 September attacks, the Taliban had been a dominant force, and had been in constant contact with the United States of America. It can be said that the rapid progress of the United States of America after the decision to withdraw its forces is the result of an agreement reached; Because the scenes show it. In many places elements of the Afghan army are retreating and leaving after handing over their weapons to the Taliban, and the Taliban's progress can be said to indicate that the United States has left the country for the Taliban. "

'Jihad has returned to its first stage '

Hamida Rencuzogullari said about Taliban control in Afghanistan, "Jihad has returned to its first stage," and continued, "Afghanistan has been a bastion of Al Qaeda in all of the Middle East and North Africa. At present, Al Qaeda in Afghanistan is becoming a State; That's why it's a system center for the whole region. This would arguably pose a serious threat to other States; Because the tradition of recruiting mercenaries was started by the Imams Mujahideen. "

'Afghanistan is a candidate to become a new centre of the world war '

The expert on Middle Eastern affairs explained that, as the Taliban began to move forward in a short time, the United States of America had given Turkey a role in Afghanistan, thus dealing with the Taliban and Turkey. There have been moves to legitimize the Taliban; Especially statements that "we have no objection to the Taliban" are legitimate to the Taliban. On the other hand, China and Russia may have a convergence in this respect in the future. Afghanistan is a national security issue for these countries, and they can take a similar approach to the choice of diplomacy, which means recognizing the Taliban. Afghanistan is clearly a candidate to become a new centre for the world war, and for the world Powers to join this partnership, they need to define their strategy on whether they want to recognize or reject the Taliban. "

'The Taliban are expected to play a role in Syria and Iraq '

Hamida explained that there were expectations that some of Afghanistan's mercenaries would be used to be stationed in Idlib, occupied areas and Southern Kurdistan in the future. "If they allow the AKP to deal with the Taliban, there is a possibility of such a situation."

"All jihadist groups in Syria have become a special army of the AKP and its mercenaries. But despite all the jihadist potential in Idlib and northern Syria, Turkey has not achieved what it wants. The failure to charge a jihadist bloc like the Taliban means that they will begin to intervene in Syria and Iraq and can use them there, which was actually awaited by jihadists in Idlib. This celebration shows that there is great potential for the Taliban to play a role in Syria and Iraq. "

They will support regional resistance against the Taliban '

Hamida Rencuzogullari said that they were heading Afghanistan towards a civil war and added that "they opened the door to Taliban control of the country on the one hand, and on the other there was a massive reaction against Taliban brutality as against ISIS. Therefore, regional resistance against the Taliban will be supported, as it has already begun since now and thus the conflict may continue until Afghanistan is divided.
