Afghanistan–Turkey relations

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). Afghanistan's envoy to Turkey said that "Afghan people love Turkish soldiers in Afghanistan like their sons". Afghanistan was also the second nation to recognise the Republic of Turkey, after the Soviet Union, on 1 March 1923.
