Recep Tayyip Erdogan: Turkish President discusses Kashmir issue at UN and India expresses anger

 Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoan has once again raised the issue of Kashmir at the United Nations. The issue of Kashmir was raised. Later, addressing the UN General Assembly, the Turkish President said that the Kashmir issue is very important for peace and stability in South Asia. This is still a burning issue. The situation has become more complicated since the end of Jammu and Kashmir's special status, "said TS Trimurti, India's envoy to the United Nations. Is. This is interference in India's internal affairs and it is completely unacceptable to India. Turkey must learn to respect the sovereignty of another country.

It should be noted that the President of Turkey has said this in a recorded video message on the UN platform. India abolished the special status of Jammu and Kashmir on August 5 last year and divided the entire state into two central areas.

In recent days, a spokesman for the Turkish Foreign Ministry had made similar comments about Jammu and Kashmir, which were considered inappropriate by India at the time.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Pakistan in February this year and said in his address to the Pakistani parliament that the Kashmir issue is as important to the Turkish people as it is to Pakistanis. Addressing the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Erdoغانan said, "We are in favor of resolving the Kashmir issue in accordance with the negotiations, UN resolutions and the expectations of the Kashmiri people." He also criticized the countries that intend to. Erdogan said it violated the UN resolution and international law. The Turkish president said that doing so would further complicate the Palestinian issue. Last year, he also raised the issue of Kashmir while addressing the UN General Assembly. At the time, Erdogan had said that peace, stability and prosperity in South Asia could not be separated from the Kashmir issue. Pakistan-administered Kashmir leader Masood Khan has welcomed Erdogan's stance. He said that Turkey is a "true friend" of Pakistan.

"Erdogan is commenting on the injustices in Palestine, Kashmir and Nagorno-Karabakh, but there is no word on Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang," Washington Post correspondent Ishan Tharoor wrote on Twitter. '

Erdoغانan also mentioned the tension in the Mediterranean with Greece. Turkey is exploring for oil and energy in the Mediterranean. Greece has strongly objected, saying Turkey is conducting an illegal campaign in its territory. France and Germany have also come out in support of Greece, after which President Erdogan threatened France and Greece. But on Tuesday, Erdogan appeared soft on the issue at the UN General Assembly. "We want to resolve the whole dispute through honest dialogue," he said. We want to resolve the dispute on the basis of international law and equality. "

Erdoغانan also spoke about Palestine and said: "The solution to this problem will come only after becoming a free and independent country. As Erdogan's speech continued, Gilad Erdan, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, walked out. They boycotted Erdogan's speech and accused him of being anti-Semitic. "Erdogan is constantly lying and speaking anti-Semitic words," Erdogan said. The whole world should know about Erdogan's double standards. "Erdogan accused Israel of atrocities against the Palestinians. Erdoغانan said in his speech that atrocities and attacks on Palestinians are inhumane.

Relations between India and Turkey have been steadily deteriorating. After becoming the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi visited almost all the important countries of the Middle East but he did not go to Turkey.

On October 20 last year, The Hindu reported that Modi was scheduled to visit Turkey in the last months of 2019, but canceled the trip because of Erdogan's stance on Kashmir in favor of Pakistan ۔ "Our government hoped that Prime Minister Modi would come to Ankara," Turkish Ambassador to India Shakir Ozkan told The Hindu. This was not only hope but also recently discussed. Now we are waiting for another date. A new date is expected to be set in the coming months according to Prime Minister Modi's time. The Indian government has taken this decision but it has definitely been discussed.The Turkish ambassador also said that China had also criticized India on the Kashmir issue but Chinese President Xi Jinping had visited India. The main reasons for the bitterness in the relations between the two countries are the support of Pakistan in Kashmir and FATF. When Turkey launched attacks on the Kurds in northern Syria, India also criticized Turkey, saying its sovereignty should be respected. India built a naval support ship in India from Turkey's Anadolu shipyard Also canceled the agreement. India took this step in response to Turkey's position with Pakistan on Kashmir and the FATF. Turkey's relations with Pakistan have been much better than India's. Both countries are Sunni-majority. Erdogan has always had good relations with Pakistan. When the military coup against Erdogan in Turkey failed in July 2016, Pakistan came out in favor of Erdogan. The then Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif had called and supported Erdogan, after which Nawaz Sharif also went to Turkey. Since then, relations between Erdogan and Pakistan have improved. Since 2017, Turkey has invested ارب 1 billion in Pakistan. Turkey is working on many projects in Pakistan. He has also been providing Metrobus Rapid Transit System to Pakistan. Work on a proposed free trade agreement between the two countries is still ongoing.

If the agreement is reached between the two countries, then bilateral trade could increase from 90 90 million to 10 10 billion. Turkish Airlines has also expanded in Pakistan. Istanbul has become the hub of regional aviation. Most Pakistanis travel to Western countries via Turkey. However, Pakistanis need a visa to go to Turkey. If a free trade agreement is reached, relations between the two countries will be even better. Turkey has seen a decline in tourist arrivals from the West and Europe in recent years, so Turkey wants to attract tourists from Islamic countries. Turkey has long been an economic and political model for Pakistan. But over time, that is likely to change. Former Pakistan Army Chief and former President General Pervez Musharraf has been a fan of Turkey's founder Mustafa Kemal Pasha. Musharraf has been praising Pasha's secular reforms and strict rule. Pakistan's current Prime Minister Imran Khan has been praising Turkish President Erdogan. After the failed coup in Turkey in 2016, Imran Khan called Erdogan a "hero." Of course, Imran Khan does not want the army to revolt against the political government in Pakistan, which is always feared in Pakistan.

Addressing the Pak-Turkish Business Forum in Islamabad on February 14 last year, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said that if Turkish President Erdogan contests elections in Pakistan, he will win. Erdogan was also present when Imran Khan was saying this. Erdogan was on a two-day visit to Pakistan. During the visit, Erdogan addressed the Pakistani parliament, during which members of parliament clapped. Addressing parliament, Erdogan said that Kashmir is as important for Pakistan as it is for Turkey. Referring to the same speech, Imran Khan had said, "I can claim that if Erdogan fights the next election in Pakistan, he will win easily." I saw in parliament that while Erdogan was speaking, members of parliament, from the ruling party to the opposition, were tapping the table. I have never before seen anyone's speech so applauded in Parliament. It shows how much the people of Pakistan want President Erdogan.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was smiling when Imran Khan was saying this. The accompanying delegation was also smiling.
