Turkey, India are 'natural' allies: AKP deputy

[Qutb-ud-din Aybak]

But what about the Ummah?

it was a conference and people say such things there.
Turkey is one of those countries which will even bomb india for us.

 

[Lincoln]

Then you should tell Turkey not to ally with India and check where friendship stand.

Turkey insists on Kashmir freedom, and ever seen what TRT, the national news agency, broadcasts?

To trade does not equate to stand by. Like I said, if you consider sweet words and trade enchancments or civil cooperation as a marker of strategic alliance, then the whole world is allied to each other. Come out of Lala land, dear.

There were many other gulf nations and other nations who used to support Pakistan on the issue but today nobody does it. Turkey used to support a bit in past but they are changing very fast. They know very well that there is no future of kashmir with Pakistan.

I'm doubtful about your nationality !

At least, we Pakistanis can't ever thimk such thing

Oh, i found it, so you are one of our Eastern neighbor. Good, keep it up and be ignored.
Kashmir WAS, IS and Always WILL be a part of PAKISTAN and apart from india.

Gulf state are politically and economically support India in certain circumstances but Turkey will never side with India...It is better we stay away from Turkey...Iran and Gulf nations are better friends in Muslim world than Erogan’s Turkey

From most right to the left, entire political spectrum of Turkey supports Pakistan in the the Kashmir issue. Historically, we see Pakistan as a continuation of the former independent state. Of course, this understanding strengthens the positive outlook on Pakistan.

Therefore, it is very difficult to deepen the relations between the India and Turkey , whether Erdoğan's presidency or not , without solving the problems with Pakistan. Pakistan is not our friend, but our brother. I can understand how ridiculous it sounds to you in world politics, but in the Turkish state tradition, betraying the brother means betraying his own existence.

However, we are pleased to have friendly relations with India on many other issues of commercial and regional peace. For example, while the US embargo on Iran continues, India used the Turkish channel in its energy purchases from Iran. Turkey is not an enemy of India in principle. But all the Turkish people are waiting for you to solve your problems with Pakistan. If this basic principle is well understood, the meaning of this speechs like above will be better understood.

The world is moving towards a multipolar process. In fact, we are all on the same ship. We know that the Indian people are bored of the impositions of Global hegamons as much as the Turks. However, in order to destroy the order of the strong, we must first create a minimum ground of agreement among ourselves.

 

[Ali Tariq]

Why would Pakistanis blame you or your country most of us don't even know there is a country named Turkey

WTF did I just read . You are worse than @Retired Troll , it's better to keep your mouth shut, troll.

 

[El Sidd]

You are worse than @Retired Troll

Dont make tall claims kid.

 

[Code_Geass]

Nothing in the article demeaning pakistan relation with turkey

Pakistan cannot dictate Turkish foreign policy.

 

[nahtanbob]

The Indian-Turkish relationship was and still is defined by Pakistan. While one Turkish dude is talking about India as an ally, the Turkish navy is exercising a drill together with the PN in the Indian Ocean and Turkish engineers are working on war ships for Pakistan.

Actions speak louder.

money speaks louder. you are getting paid for military hardware by pakistan

 

[Gandhi G in da house]

Good news.

 

[Nein]

What a dumb statement only Muslim Indians helped us not the Hindus or Sikhs that doesnt make us Allies with India.

Turks only feel close with Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indian Muslims nothing else.

 

[nahtanbob]

From most right to the left, entire political spectrum of Turkey supports Pakistan in the the Kashmir issue. Historically, we see Pakistan as a continuation of the former independent state.

which former independent state are we talking about ?

Turkey, India are 'natural' allies: AKP deputy
ANKARA-Anadolu Agency

• July 26 2019 10:31:11
  
  Describing Turkey and India as “natural allies”, a senior Turkish lawmaker said on July 25 that the two countries have long-established relations and historic connections.
  
  Delivering the third 'MK Gandhi Memorial Lecture' at the Indian embassy in the Turkish capital, Efkan Ala, head of the Turkey-India Inter-parliamentary Friendship Group, said Turkey considers India a “friend and important partner”.
  
  “President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have very good relations and high-level exchanges,” he said.
  
  “Turkey and India supported each other during the most critical times,” he added. “Our people are more connected than ever.”
  
  Ala said India is a growing economy, has a huge market with outstanding knowledge of space technology and rich human resources and a deep-rooted historical and cultural heritage.
  
  “Turkey remains determined to develop its relations with India, which is the world's largest democracy and the planet's second most populous country.”
  
  He said Turkey is keen to tap the existing potential in its bilateral ties with India and in inter- and multi-national cooperation.
  
  “Turkey and India are two democratic, plural states with liberal economies and two open societies. These are very important values,” he said. “As a matter of fact, there is a broad correlation amongst sustainable development and democratic ideology.”
  
  He said the growing relationship between Turkey and India has a possibility to make “us major players in regional and global issues”.
  
  Ala, a former interior minister of Turkey, said “India, like Turkey, is located at a strategic geography with its strategic depth, cultural richness and natural resources…[Thus] these two countries are natural allies.”
  
  He said relations between the two countries are undergoing an evolutionary process.
  
  “Our relations with India are growing with high-level contacts,” he said.
  
  Terming the 2017 visit of Turkey's president to India as a “historic step” towards enhancing bilateral relations, Ala said the two sides have set a goal of $10 billion in bilateral trade by 2020. It stood at $8.6 billion in 2018.
  
  Referring to Turkish Trade Minister Ruhsar Pekcan's visit to India last December, he said a joint economic committee summit between Turkey and India is expected to be held in Ankara later this year.
  
  “There are many strategic opportunities for the two countries thanks to the momentum gained by the cooperation by relevant ministries and businesses,” he said. “We placed Indiaamong our priority countries in 2018 and 2019 in trade.”
  
  He said that since bilateral trade has increased significantly in the preceding decade, “maybe it is time for the launching of negotiations for a Free Trade Agreement (FTA)”.
  
  “Turkey could open markets in North Africa, the Middle East and Eurasia to India which will supplement India's quest for wider new markets,” he suggested.
  
  He added that it was important for the two countries to maintain momentum in bilateral visits and “Turkey is willing to do so”.
  
  Stressing that the two sides should intensify bilateral relations, he said “we should identify new areas of cooperation. We are determined to spare no efforts to strengthen people to people contacts”.
  
  “We hope to host Prime Minister Modi soon,” he added.
  
  Earlier, welcoming the guests, Indian Ambassador to Turkey Sanjay Bhattacharyya said the Turkish government is releasing a set of commemorative stamps to honor Mahatma Gandhi.
  
  “We are working with the Turkish Foreign Ministry on the installation of a bust of MK Gandhi in Ankara,” he said.
  
  Referring to the historic relations between the then Indian sub-continent and what is now Turkey, Bhattacharyya mentioned how medical missions from the region, including one led by Dr. Mukhtar Ahmed Ansari, known as Dr. MA Ansari in India, had participated in the Balkan wars.
  
  Touching on bilateral relations, the Indian ambassador said the frequent contacts between the leaders of the two countries “have brought about a very close understanding” and they recently met in Osaka, Japan on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in June.
  
  “It is imparting a new momentum in our overall relations,” he said, terming India and Turkey “natural partners in the 21st century”.
  
  Earlier, the Indian ambassador took guests on a tour of a photo exhibition showing different aspects of Gandhi's life.

There are no true friends in international politics. Just business and self-interest.

True, it's just a natural instinct to look after your own interest before caring about others'.
