The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey once again emphasized that Ankara does not join the illegal sanctions of the West against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

At the 26th meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the Economic Cooperation Organization "ECO" in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, they reviewed the developments in the region, including the current situation in Afghanistan.

Turkey and NATO will continue to provide support to Afghanistan as long as Kabul seeks their help, the Turkish foreign minister said late Monday.
