Operation Sindoor to Erdogan’s Embrace of Pakistan: What’s Fueling India-Turkey Tensions?

Following the Pahalgam terror attacks and India’s launch of Operation Sindoor, Turkey has reinforced its strategic alignment with Pakistan. Despite offering condolences, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan continues backing Islamabad, drawing criticism from India. Turkey has assisted Pakistan militarily, especially in drone tech, and supports its stance on Kashmir in international forums. India views Turkey’s actions as intrusive and misaligned with its interests. Bilateral ties have weakened, with India reducing engagement while urging Ankara to discourage Pakistan’s use of terrorism. Former Ambassador Anil Trigunayat says Erdogan’s Islamic leadership ambitions are driving this alignment, though India prefers dialogue and mutual respect.
