According to Kashmir Media Service, Fidan reiterated Ankara\u2019s long-standing position\u2014echoing Pakistan\u2019s stance\u2014that India must resolve the Kashmir issue through dialogue with Pakistan and in accordance with international law.<\/p>\n
His remarks follow President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan\u2019s repeated references to Kashmir at every UN General Assembly session since 2019. Erdo\u011fan has consistently urged India to address the disputed territory, calling attention to human rights violations against Muslims in the region.<\/p>\n
Since coming to power in 2002, Erdo\u011fan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP) have increasingly used global platforms to vocalize support for Kashmir, presenting Turkey as a defender of Muslim causes worldwide. Turkey has also expanded its diplomatic outreach and influence across Muslim-majority countries, often highlighting issues such as Kashmir, Palestine, and Islamophobia.<\/p>\n
Ankara\u2019s religious institution, Diyanet, has also been projecting Turkish narratives abroad, reinforcing Turkey\u2019s visibility on global Muslim issues, including the Kashmir dispute.<\/p>\n
Erdo\u011fan\u2019s continued spotlight on Kashmir reflects Turkey\u2019s consistent diplomatic messaging against India\u2019s policies in the UN-recognized disputed territory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
