Tayyip Erdogan emerge as the new hero of the Kashmir Cause in the World

Dr. A. Z. Hilali said The towering statement from the Turkish PresidentTayyip Erdogan at UNGA is a diplomatic victory of Pakistan. The Indiandiplomacy has failed on Kashmir dispute. India is unable to convince theinternational community that Kashmir is its internal affair.

The issue of Kashmir must be resolved through dialogue and the relevantUNSC resolutions. Kashmir is a nuclear flashpoint between India andPakistan and any confrontation between the two can bring catastrophicconsequences for the entire region.

The people of Kashmir are looking towards great world powers inanticipation of the end of their plight. The suppression and killing ofinnocent Kashmiris to stifle their voice cannot deter them from their justdemand of right to self-determination.

Pakistan is grateful to Turkish president for supporting Pakistan’s stanceon Kashmir at the international front. It is high time to take collectiveaction against Indian atrocities in the held valley. I salute to Erdogan’scourage for raising the Kashmir issue at UNGA. Kashmir is the victim ofcollective wisdom.

The international community has failed to stand with the people of Kashmiragainst Indian atrocities. It is responsibility of the world powers toraise their voice against the worst human rights violations committed byIndian troops in IIOJ&K.

Asif Durrani (Former Ambassador): It is appreciable that Turkey has alwayssupported Pakistan’s stance regarding Kashmir at the international front.It is a fact that India has illegally occupied Kashmir and is committingstate terrorism in IIOJ&K. Both Turkey and Malaysia have openly raisedvoices against Indian brutalities in IIOJ&K.

Pakistan has successfully internationalized the Kashmir issue and exposedIndia at the international arena. Islamabad has always desired a peacefulsolution to the Kashmir issue. We are ready to endorse any initiative takenfor the resolution of Kashmir issue.

It is responsibility of the United Nations to intervene and resolve theKashmir dispute in accordance with the UN resolutions. The western powersare silent on the Kashmir issue due to their economic and strategicinterests in India.
