Turkish President Erdogan Raises Kashmir Issue in UNGA Speech: 'Should Be Addressed Through Dialogue'
Erdogan urged dialogue on Kashmir and said the international community has not paid enough attention to the dispute, citing the UN Charter and relevant resolutions.
- On Tuesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan raised the Kashmir issue at the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, urging that South Asian disputes be resolved through dialogue under the United Nations Charter.
- This rhetoric follows the August 7 signing of the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Erdogan, and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, binding Turkey to Pakistan's security orbit.
- New Delhi maintains that "talks and terror cannot go together," and India formally objected to the comments, reiterating that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of the country.
- Addressing broader tensions, Erdogan condemned Israel's military campaign in Gaza as "state terror," while India cites the Simla Agreement to argue that differences must be settled through direct bilateral negotiations.
- Erdogan has established a pattern of addressing Kashmir at the United Nations General Assembly, notably at the 74th session in 2019, signaling a recurring diplomatic strategy despite India's consistent rejection of external involvement.
