New Delhi: The latest reference to Kashmir by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan at the United Nations has once again triggered a sharp reaction in of the Indian media, highlighting New Delhi\u2019s continuing discomfort with T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s persistent advocacy of dialogue on the Kashmir dispute at international forums.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, instead of engaging with the substance of Erdo\u011fan\u2019s call for resolving the Kashmir dispute through dialogue under the framework of the United Nations Charter and relevant resolutions, the Indian media has focused their coverage on T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s close relations with Pakistan and Ankara\u2019s position during the May 2025 India-Pakistan military confrontation.<\/p>\n
Indian media reports have repeatedly portrayed T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s Kashmir position as part of its growing strategic alignment with Pakistan. Some reports have also linked Erdo\u011fan\u2019s latest UN remarks with the August 2026 Mecca Joint Defence Agreement involving T\u00fcrkiye, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, presenting the development as an additional concern for New Delhi.<\/p>\n
The reaction is part of a broader pattern. During the May 2025 confrontation between India and Pakistan, Erdo\u011fan expressed solidarity with Pakistan while also calling for restraint and offering diplomatic assistance to de-escalate tensions. Reuters reported that the Turkish president commended Pakistan\u2019s \u201ccalm and restrained\u201d response and supported Islamabad\u2019s call for an investigation into the April 2025 attack in Indian-administered Kashmir.<\/p>\n
The Turkish position subsequently became a major subject of criticism in India. Indian media reported calls for boycotting Turkish products and services, while commentators described Erdo\u011fan\u2019s support for Pakistan as a serious diplomatic setback for New Delhi.<\/p>\n
The Times of India, for example, described the Turkish position as \u201cunfriendly towards India\u201d and reported that the reaction in India included calls for a boycott of T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n
Erdo\u011fan, however, has continued to raise Kashmir at the UN despite repeated Indian objections. For Kashmiris, the continuing international references underscore that the dispute has never simply disappeared from the UN record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
