Its not only about troops few airports and Taliban control etc . Those who think that Turkey is coming to help pakistan in Afghanistan are missing some key points.
1. In case of Taliban's control over complete Afghanistan or even in the presence of current regime how the presence of Turkish troops or its control over airport which is considered key strategic asset in case of country like Afghanistan helps us? ( Dont forget the presence of Turkish troops in presence of NATO and without them are two different things).
2. It will give direct access to turkey to influence former soviet central Asian states and grant them complete access to these countries , How does such a strong Turkish influence help Pakistan , at the end we have to deal with the Turks. Dont forget turkey will influence Afghan Turk diaspora which will be under there complete influence ( use case Abdul Rashid Dostum & Co).
3. It should also be noted that Turks are Super Nationalists which is not a bad thing from a national perspective but but ,, how it helps us in long run? It will just need a little influence for Turks (NATO Member) to create a big problem without a check right next to your door steps and 2000 km away from Turkish border.
I would like to say why allow so much influence to another Party in a conflict where there are already so many players involved .
It does not help us or even Afghanistan in long run, It only helps turkey. I suggest we should learn the lesson by now how guerrilla warfare can influence the security situation of whole region. In short run and current perspective it might seem we are getting helped by turkey due to brotherly relations, but ruling out the geo strategic importance of the region and how easily Turks can influence can turn out to be a strategic blunder because its easy for Turks to turn their backs on us. I suggest we should play our cards carefully..
