The Turkish Embassy in Kabul continues operations, the Turkish foreign minister said on Aug. 15.
All necessary measures have been taken regarding Turkey's diplomatic missions and personnel in Afghanistan, said Mevlüt Çavuşoglu in a press briefing prior to departure from Algeria.
Noting that the Turkish Embassy continues to operate in Kabul, Çavuşoglu said all consular operations are continuing at Turkey's diplomatic missions.
