Not strange at all, it's almost entirely about business and PR. Turkey wants better relations with the rest of the Muslim world which they neglected during military rule, and the best way to do that is through Pakistan.
Israel has been trying to do the same thing, but failing at it.
As much as I'd like to believe it - Thats BS !
And I don't blame you for being skeptical, but Pakistan is known as a gateway for a reason. Pakistan's large military force, it's nuclear weapons, and it's military influence in foreign Muslim nations makes Pakistan a perfect gateway for enhanced relations with other Muslim nations. Of course this has declined in recent years, but if Pakistan's economy can recover (and it looks like it will), we can expect Pakistan's influence to increase once again.
Dude that makes my chest swell with pride reading that but then again I'm a realist & I know that that ain't the truth & our extremely.....extremely trying ordeals in the past & a very conspicuous absence of help of any kind from our under influence foreign Muslim Nations in them, speak for themselves !
That's mostly because most other Muslim nations don't have the means to send boots to Pakistan. They have donated billions to Pakistan whenever a natural disaster occurred. During the last floods, Arab nations were the largest number of financial donors to Pakistan and gave the combined single most assistance to Pakistan in the form of food, clean water and tents, after the US.
No...I wasn't referring to boots on the ground ! Philanthropy is one thing & most appreciated but close knit relations is something quite different; the Arab nations gave a lot to Haiti too !
The point is that Arabs are an exclusive club & whereas we might be Muslims...we're not really a part of the family ! Therefore whereas Egypt might get bail-out plans, Jordan might have her military acquisitions financed & Arab countries have a very conspicuous congruence on strategic issues - We're really the friendly guy on the outside...nothing more !
Palestine & Syria might bleed their eyes dry but Kashmir wouldn't figure in !
Kashmir is something that no outside force wants to get involved with, because a wrong move can start a nuclear conflict (no matter how unlikely). One cannot blame the Arabs for that.
Of course you're right that the Arabs don't consider us apart of the "family", but they still need us and we still need them. They realize it, and we realize it. They may hate us, they may wish harm on us, but in the end, they'll always come back to us.
Palestine and Syria is in their neighborhoods and they have a strategic interest in it, whereas they have no real strategic interest in Kashmir. If Syria was located in EU or Asia, even with a majority Arab population, they would give a crap.
P.S. you didn't quote my entire posted edited comment
Israel is more erratic & trigger happy than anything therefore Kashmir starting a nuclear war is hardly a big thing compared to whats sitting wedged in their bosom called the Middle East.
Dude its not just that - Tunisia or Libya haven't any strategic interest in Israel-Palestine but they're vehemently against Israel. Similarly when it comes to Iran the whole Arab world starts frothing from the mouth - Why ? Because they are Arabs ! And we're not invited to that party !
When its our issues - its simply our issues ! When its theres....it becomes a Muslim Issue & the gullible foOks we are - We jump onto the bandwagon enthusiastically !
So at the end of the day its not about strategic interests & its not about the risks involved - Its all about us not being worth enough to take the risks & align those strategic interests to ours because we're not Arabs !
The Turks realized this long....long ago & so did the Indonesians & the Malaysians - Its high time we do to !
P.S I read your post & your analogy !
Even in this circumstances, this pathetic country is more advanced than Pakistan in every aspects.
No offence, just saying.
what is mean by Vertical replenishment ?The new tanker, displacing 15,600 tonnes and approximately 155m in length, will be equipped with replenishment-at-sea rigs for underway replenishment. It will also have a helicopter flight deck, allowing for vertical replenishment operations.

Turkiye has won the tender of 'sea replenishment tanker' for Pakistan Naval Forces Command. Turkish engineers will build the ship in Karachi Shipyard, Pakistan.
