Erdogan Shifts Policy with UN Speech: No Mention of Kashmir Stirs Debate in Pakistan

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made headlines with his recent United Nations General Assembly speech, where, for the first time in years, he did not mention the Kashmir issue. The omission has sparked a significant debate in Pakistan, where Erdogan has long been seen as a vocal supporter of Kashmir’s cause against India.

This policy shift is notable, as Erdogan has previously criticized India’s actions in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly after the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019. Pakistan, which has historically relied on international backing for its stance on Kashmir, was taken aback by Erdogan’s silence.

In contrast, this move is seen as a potential softening of Turkey’s stance toward India, possibly in pursuit of stronger diplomatic and economic ties. India and Turkey have had strained relations in recent years, but Erdogan’s recalibration could indicate a broader geopolitical shift. Analysts suggest that Turkey’s growing economic interests in South Asia might explain the change in tone. The debate in Pakistan, however, continues as opposition leaders criticize Prime Minister Imran Khan’s government for losing an ally in the international Kashmir debate.
