Turkey's Erdogan Voices Caution Over New Afghan Government

ISTANBUL - Turkey is voicing caution over Afghanistan's interim government as it continues talks with the Taliban on restarting air traffic at the Kabul airport.

Turkey was among the first countries calling for talks and engagement with the Taliban after it swept to power last month. But the Taliban's announcement of an interim government this week saw Turkish President Recep Tayyip calling for a cautious approach. "As you know, right now, it's hard to call it permanent, but an interim cabinet has been announced," Erdogan said Tuesday.  He said, "We don't know how long this interim cabinet will last. All we have to do is to follow this process carefully."
