'No military solution to crisis in Afghanistan'

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul say there is no military solution to the crisis in Afghanistan.

Ahmadinejad and Gul held a telephone conversation on Thursday to discuss the regional developments, especially the situation in Afghanistan.

The two presidents said that the Afghan people need humanitarian assistance and support to reconstruct their country, not more weapons, IRNA reported.

“Experience has proven that military options will not work in Afghanistan because Afghans need humanitarian assistance and support to reconstruct their country,” Ahmadinejad said.

Gul stated that Turkey and Iran have the same approach toward Afghanistan and reiterated that Afghanistan needs humanitarian assistance and not military support.
