Turkey-Cyprus issue: S. Jaishankar Refered

• Turkey is embroiled in the confrontation on the divided island of Cyprus between its ethnic compatriots who hold the breakaway northern part of it and the Greek Cypriots. In a tweet after the meeting with Turk Foreign Minister, Jaishankar said they held a “wide-ranging conversation that covered the Ukraine conflict, food security, G20 processes, global order, NAM (Non-aligned Movement) and Cyprus”

• External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met Turkish Foreign Minister  for a wide-ranging discussion on global affairs, hours after Ankara’s President RecepTayyipErdogan made a neutral-sounding reference to Kashmir in his General Assembly address.
• In his speech, Erdogan struck a neutral-sounding stance and said: “We hope and pray that fair and permanent peace and prosperity will be established in Kashmir.” He avoided internationalising Kashmir by even invoking UN resolutions as he had last year or criticising India in strong terms in the years before that. Besides Pakistani politicians, Erdogan is the only other leader to mention Kashmir in recent years in speeches at the 193-member Assembly.
