In the Turkish perspective, the Pashtuns are as important as the Turkic peoples. There are deep ties in terms of historical and cultural interaction. What I am talking about is not a thousand years ago, but even if you look from the 19th century, you can see a lot of things. Therefore, I hope you do not create false prejudices based on individual comments here. As general, We can only be brothers of Pashtuns.
On the other hand, there has been a terrible level of Afghan irregular immigration for the last 2 years and it has started to create an allergy in our communities. We, who attach importance to this friendship and ties, are trying to overcome this prejudice and these complications against Afghans in our own country.
I do not want to name it here, but the organized PSYOP units of a country put all their efforts to distance the Turkish public from the Afghan brotherhood on this issue. Dozens of post-truth activities take place on social media every day.
I have been following the forum from the outside for a while and I observe that there are similar studies here. Undoubtedly, time will reveal everything.
