Now that the United States has completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan, Turkey has been among the regional players scrambling to understand the new geopolitical landscape. For whatever concerns Ankara has about instability in a post-U.S. Afghanistan, it also sees room to maneuver as part of a long game with strategic benefits waiting to be reaped. Dr. Kamran Bokhari, the director of analytical development at the Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy in Washington D.C, told Ahval News in a recent podcast that the current vacuum has Washington still looking for a means to maintain some access to Afghanistan. To that end, Turkey is still ready to lend its assistance.
