India expects Turkey to strongly urge Pakistan to end its support to cross-border terrorism and take credible and verifiable actions against the terror ecosystem it has harboured for decades, said MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal on Thursday during the weekly press briefing.
"Relations are built on the basis of sensitivities to each other’s concerns."
"Celebi matter has been discussed with the Turkish Embassy. But I understand that this particular decision was taken by the Civil Aviation Security..." Jaiswal added.
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has always supported Pakistan's claims in Kashmir, reportedly supplied more than 350 drones and some military operatives to Pakistan during the conflict with India.

In a recent message to Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Erdogan reiterated his support for Pakistan saying, "As in the past, we will continue to stand by you in good times and bad in the future."
Turkey and Azerbaijan have both faced backlash in India for siding with Pakistan instead of condemning terrorism, a stance that has deeply angered Indian citizens.
Tensions escalated when Indian Army officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi revealed that the drones used by Pakistan in cross-border strikes were of Turkish origin.
Preliminary findings identified them as Asisguard Songar models, raising concerns over Turkey’s direct military support to Pakistan.
In response, many Indians have taken to social media, calling for a full boycott of Turkish and Azerbaijani goods and tourism.
Hashtags such as #BoycottTurkey and #BoycottAzerbaijan have continued to trend, with political leaders, citizens, and right-wing groups lending their voices to the movement.
