Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Friday Turkey would continue training the security personnel in Afghanistan after 2014 in an effort to facilitate security in the country.

Davutoglu made the remarks at a meeting of the International Contact Group (ICG) for Afghanistan in the Turkish capital of Ankara, saying that Afghanistan should not be viewed as a country of chaos and instability.

"Afghanistan has been the cradle of many old civilizations and a symbol of coexistence of many cultures. Currently, the people of Afghanistan are trying to rebuild their glorious history," Davutoglu said.

"There are preparations being made for the period after 2014 when the NATO mission and the transitional process would end," Davutoglu added.

"Security in the country must be established and supported by the training of the Afghan army," the Turkish foreign minister said. Endi
