Erdogan raises Kashmir issue in UN General Assembly

London (IoK News) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday once again raised the Kashmir issue during his address to world leaders at the high-level UN General Assembly session.

“India and Pakistan, after having established their sovereignty and independence 75 years ago, still haven’t established peace and solidarity between one another. This is much unfortunate. We hope and pray that a fair and permanent peace and prosperity will be established in Kashmir,” he said.

In recent years, the Turkish leader has referred to the Kashmir issue in his addresses to world leaders at high-level meetings of the UN General Assembly, which has led to strained relations between India and Turkey.

India has in the past termed his remarks as “totally unacceptable”, saying that Turkey should learn to respect the sovereignty of other nations and think more deeply about its own policies.
