What do Pakistani brothers think about Turkey

[Aeneas]

Iran and India made a port some years back, Chabahar Port, and they became envious of Pakistani-Chinese Gwadar Port because Gwadar Port was a competition for their Chabahar Port.

We have good relations with Iran, we have no disputes with them at all, its just they are very close economic partners with India, but they are also good with us. They stay neutral mostly when it comes to Pakistan and India.

it sound reasonable

Turkey is one of Pakistan's closest ally but Turkey never helped us before in any conflict with India.

After China and Saudia Arabia...Turkey is also very close to Pakistan and Pakistanis consider Turks their brothers.

Incorrect. In fact Turkey had supplied Pakistan Jet Fighter parts, air crafts, and large sums of money during the 1965 War with India.


"This is the reason why Pakistan despatched the former air chief, Air Marshal Asghar Khan to China (and Indonesia) within ten days of the war starting to get "urgently required fighter aircraft and the vast complex of weapons, equipment, explosives and spares that support air operations."† Indonesia promised MiG-19s and MiG-15s besides other equipment after Asghar Khan gave President Ayub's letter to Indonesian President saying that he expected Indonesia to help us in our "dire need." Help was also sought from Iran which provided sanctuaries for Pakistan Air Force aircraft, Iraq which actually supplied a dozen F-86s and spares, and from Turkey.'

Other Sources report.

"As far as the political aspect of this visit is concerned, the principal achievement is that both the countries supported each other’s stand on Kashmir and Northern Cyprus. Turkey supplied arms and ammunition worth $50,000,000 to Islamabad during the 1965 war with India while Pakistan provided diplomatic support to the Turkish military action in Cyprus in 1974."

I highly recommend you visit and read the second source, very informative about Turkish-Pakistani cooperation throughout the decades!

the problem is, iranians r very racist, they hate arabs, turks, they create sectarian differences, as they are shias, the second largest sect in islam, they dont like sunnis, the largest sect!!. since the iranian revolution, the govt has fueled sectarian violance in pakistan!!, they tend to move away from pakistan(building warm relations) bcoz they r sunnis!!, and ofcourse, they have strong ties with india, also iran doesnt like pakistan alliance with US(its other thing, US is harming pakistan through this alliance). external elements r also creating difference bw iran and pakistan by funding and fueling sectarian violance!!, though iran and pakistan r neighbours, the relations r cold, and both countries tend to move in separate ways, just like that. this is purely my opinion!!!

but i have heard recently, iran wants to play its role in current situation to decrease the tensions bw pakistan and india.

True but Pakistan has the second largest Shia population in the world.

I agree with you Pakistan should be careful with Iran but still they are not bad neighbors to us.

 

[Awesome]

Thats only partially true and there were out faults in it too... Anyway this is not the thread about Iran...

 

[Awesome]

Lol heck I can't be thankful enough to turkey for inventing Doner and Cevirme kababs... Commonly known in our parts of the world Shawarma and in the west, Gyro.

Of course though the concept of cooking is the same but they all taste very very different because of the herbs, spices and type of meat used.

 

[Blossom]

Oh i love Gyro...Gyro is bigger than Shawarma.and I love the sauce in it...yummie!

Turkey is known for its interesting history.and I know Kamaal Attaturk..thats it

 

[blain2]

Pakistanis love Turks as their brethren. You will get this feeling walking down the street if they come to know you are a Turk. Just ask any person (who knows anything about the outside world and you will get an answer that backs up my assertion ;-).

 

[Evil Flare]

Love Everything abt Turkey except its Secularism & Hope it will be cleared Sooon


Inshallah

you know that sauce is mostly just yogurt

I go around searching Dubai for shawerma and all its derivatives. So far I'm a big fan of Saudi Shawarma, which I've heard is quite similar to a Turkish Doner wrap. The Shawarma is prepared in a thin bread, the bread is lined with Thoom (garlic sauce) and then it wraps the meat. Then they toast the whole wrap. So the bread becomes hard. It's a nice combination of crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside...
