President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday expressed Türkiye’s full support for Pakistan’s call for an international investigation into the deadly attack in Jammu and Kashmir, warning that rising India-Pakistan tensions risk spiraling into open warfare, APA reports citing Türkiye Today.
Speaking at a press conference in Ankara alongside Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, Erdogan confirmed that he had spoken with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday, sharing his condolences and stressing Ankara’s growing alarm over the deteriorating security situation in South Asia.
“We are concerned that the tension between Pakistan and India may escalate into a hot conflict due to missile strikes in which many civilians have been killed,” Erdogan said.
“May Allah have mercy on our brothers who lost their lives in the attacks. Once again, I offer my condolences to the people and government of our brotherly nation Pakistan," he added.
Reaffirming Türkiye’s commitment to regional stability, Erdogan criticized those who have inflamed the crisis and stressed the need for diplomacy.
“Despite those who pour fuel on the fire, we in Türkiye are making every effort to reduce tensions and open channels for dialogue before the situation reaches an irreversible point,” he said.
