The Spin

Pakistan and Turkey's brotherhood transcends mere diplomacy—it's a sacred alliance forged in shared struggle and mutual sacrifice. From supporting Turkish independence to standing together on Kashmir and Cyprus, these nations exemplify unwavering solidarity. Their strategic partnership, spanning defense cooperation to economic collaboration, represents hope for genuine Muslim unity and regional prosperity.

Pakistan’s deepening alliance with Turkey—rooted in religious affinity—has evolved into a strategic, military partnership that empowers Islamabad’s anti-India agenda. Erdogan’s opportunistic indulgence of Pakistan undermines regional stability, emboldens extremist posturing, and positions Turkey as an adversarial force in South Asia, driven more by ambition within the Islamic world than by genuine diplomacy.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 65% chance Turkey will recognize the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan before 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
