Turkey still interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. The engagement of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan doesn't limit only to Syria, Libya and Yemen where Erdogan still supporting and financing extremists groups, Turkish interference is becoming more clear even in India.
Last week president Erdogan visited Pakistan, talking with journalists the Muslim Brotherhood leader said the situation in Indian Kashmir was worsening because of sweeping changes New Delhi introduced in the Muslim-majority territory and that Turkey stood in solidarity with the people of Kashmir.
On Monday India summoned Turkish ambassador, Sakir Ozkan Torunlar, asking him to clarify recent remarks of sultan Erdogan. According to Reuters, "This recent episode is but one more example of a pattern of Turkey interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. India finds that completely unacceptable," foreign ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar said.
India brought Kashmir under its federal control withdrawing the autonomy of the region, which has been subject of a dispute between India, Pakistan and China since the mid-20th century. The Indian Foreign minister stressed Torunlar that Erdogan's comments lacked any understanding of the history of the Kashmir dispute.
"This recent episode is just one more example of a pattern of Turkey interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. India finds that completely unacceptable". India Foreign Ministry spokesman pointed out.
Earlier in 2017 Erdogan traveled to New Delhi to participate to the Turkey-India business summit. In that time Erdoğan suggested a multi-lateral dialogue on Kashmir, offering to mediate through his good offices between India and Pakistan. India has always categorically rejected Turkey’s intervention, while Pakistan welcomed Erdoğan’s offer.
Today India blames Turkey for supporting Pakistan and cross border terrorism stoking the revolt in the region of Kashmir, a territory in which tens of thousands of people -almost civilians- have been killed.
