Pakistanis are also very welcome in Turkey i think you found it out by yourself when you mentioned that you are Pakistani.I always stated I was a Pakistani when ever some person asked.
I saw some Pakistani tourists in Istanbul and I told them that "they should feel at home this is their country too" and they said "yeah we feel like this is our country". In other words they din't feel like they were in foreign lands. Thats the feeling I got from them.
The funny thing is that these tourist that I talked to were on the same airplane as me on the way to Turkey.
Proud of Turkey and Turkish people. Wanna see Turkey converting into economic giant in Europe in my life time like China. God bless Turkey forever.
