Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced today, Monday, that his country plans on holding talks with the "Taliban" over their refusal to let Ankara run Kabul airport after US troops withdraw from Afghanistan.
 
Erdogan said: "God willing, we will see what kind of talks we will have with the Taliban and see where these talks take us.
