Afghanistan–Turkey relations refers to bilateral relations between Afghanistan and Turkey. Ahmet Davutoğlu has described this relationship as "exemplary" even if the two countries do not border, but are close. A recent survey in Kabul of 1,259 people shows that Afghanistan rely mostly on Turkey, and consider Turkey to be Afghanistan's one and only true, best friend (as of July 2012). It is also stated how "Afghan people love Turkish soldiers in Afghanistan like their sons".〔http://www.aa.com.tr/en/politics/471256--afghan-envoy-to-turkey-quot-turkish-soldiers-are-loved-in-afghanistan-quot〕 Afghanistan are also constantly referred to 'brothers' in Turkey. Generally it is said that “Turkey is Afghanistan’s closest neighbor without common borders”.〔http://www.academia.edu/3177945/Turkey_Shoulders_Afghanistan〕 There are two opinions which compose the fundamentals of Turkish-Afghan relations. It is said in Afghanistan “no Afghan was ever killed by a Turkish bullet” and “no Afghan trained by Turks has ever betrayed his country”. Afghanistan was also the second nation to recognise the Republic of Turkey, after the Soviet Union, on 1 March 1923. Turkey shall always be remembered as a pioneer of this peace process—from conceptual through operational stages.〔http://nation.com.pk/columns/22-Feb-2015/natural-allies〕〔http://www.aa.com.tr/en/turkey/470861--turkey-offers-condolences-to-victims-of-afghan-avalanche〕 Since the 1920s Turkey enjoyed its prestige in Afghanistan.〔 Both countries established education and cultural exchange programs. Inside Afghanistan Turkish schools were established. Furthermore, Turkish army officers assisted or even commanded the training of Afghan military members. The foreign relations of Afghanistan have changed so much politically, socially and economically. Today the relations between the two countries go beyond giving military education. In this respect it is noteworthy that this article handles the developments in the relationship between Afghanistan and Turkey in historical context. "Turkey shares the grief of the Afghan people, with whom we have always been together in joyful and sad times"〔 Additionally, the 'brotherly' relationship is indicated by the Turkish mission to renovate Hamid Karzai International Airport.〔 〔http://www.voanews.com/english/archive/2008-12/2008-12-05-voa72.cfm?moddate=2008-12-05〕 ==History== Afghan and Turkish relations spans several centuries, as many Turkic and Afghan peoples ruled vast areas of Central Asia and the Middle East particularly the Ghaznavids, Khilji, Timurid, Lodhi, Mughal, Afsharid, and Durrani empires. Throughout its long history, many Ottoman officials were in close contact with Afghan leaders even up until the early 20th century when the Ottoman administrator Ahmad Jamal Pasha went to Afghanistan where he worked on modernizing the Afghan armed forces. Ertuğrul Osman, the current head of the Imperial Ottoman Dynasty, is married to Zeynep Tarzi Hanım Efendi, the daughter of Abdulfettah Tarzi, niece of the former King of Afghanistan, Amanullah Khan. Afghanistan's heavy influence on the Atatürk regime further developed the brotherly relations between the two nations. Atatürk had supported Mahmud Tarzi and his hopes of introducing Ataturkism into neighbouring Afghanistan. Following the death of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Afghanistan was deeply saddened, and Amanullah Khan, who was in exile in Rome made a special attendance. Afghanistan's support for Atatürk is further shown by being the only nation, apart from Turkey, to have kept their flag at half-mast, to initiate a week of mourning.〔http://www.kultur.gov.tr/EN,31639/afghanistan.html〕 Despite the strong visibility of the Taliban in the east of the country, Atatürk's legacy still remains intact within Afghanistan, and March 1 is celebrated to commemorate Afghanistan's recognition of the Republic of Turkey, being only the second nation to do so, after the Soviet Union. Afghanistan was the second country to recognize the Republic of Turkey, after the Soviet Union, establishing diplomatic contacts whilst the Turkish War of Independence was still being waged. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Afghanistan is therefore the longest-lasting country to have recognized the Republic of Turkey. Talks held in Moscow on 1 March 1921 resulted in the Turkey-Afghanistan Alliance Agreement and a period of intense cooperation. In 1937, shortly before the outbreak of World War II, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Turkey signed the Treaty of Saadabad. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Afghanistan–Turkey relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
