"It can be rebuilt if other countries with selfish interests will not meddle, as has been done in the past."

"Well, that our main concern is that Iraq should not become a divided country."

"We have in the last two years, we have passed 350 legislation in the parliament, most of which deal with democratization, human rights, and of course, economy."

"But if we leave them alone, just satisfying ourselves with social work, economic work and the building up of a national army, it can make progress, hopefully within a short time."

"But thanks to the efforts, the initiative of the United States and of the several countries from the world, from Europe, including Turkey, it ended within a few weeks."

"But apart from the military measures, security measures, of course, Afghanistan needs great help for building up its social life, its economic life. It has become a very poor country, neglected for many years."

"But if too many countries, as has been the case, interfere too much in the internal affairs, the political situation of Afghanistan, then of course we can't hope satisfactory results."

"So we are fulfilling our task in preventing serious armament stocks in Iraq within our possibilities."

"No, I believe in the good will of the United States' administration."

"We have been helping, trying to help Afghanistan in many ways, even from the beginning of... the beginnings of the '20s, 1920s, when he we were fighting our own national struggle."

"Ataturk sent several Turkish staff officers to Afghanistan, helped them build their own army."
