Abstract
Abstract: Afghanistan, which is among the most important geographies of ancient World, and which is the nodal point of the roads that interconnects Turkistan, China, India and Iran, is called “the roof or the heart of the world” in the context of geopolitics. Its strategic and geopolitical importance has always made this country a political and military center of attraction from ancient times until today. Afghanistan was dominated by Persians in 5th century B.C., and by Shakas, who came from Turkistan to Afghanistan which was captured by Alexandria of Macedonia, and by Yuachis, Kushans, Akhuns and Gokturks in 1st Century B.C. from 7th century, Afghanistan began to be dominated by Arabian armies, and then it became the habitation of Ghaznevians, Seljukians, Khwārezmshahians, Timurians, Safevians and Baburians. In 19th century, Afghanistan became a buffer state between England and Russia due to its strategic importance. The problems arising from Afghanistan’s geopolitical importance continue to exist in the present time.
