Turkey’s Foreign Ministry condemns India’s attacks on civilian population and infrastructure in Pakistan

Turkey is monitoring the situation between Pakistan and India with concern, Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

According to the Turkish foreign ministry, the attack carried out by India has created a risk of an outbreak of war, and “Ankara condemns such provocative actions and attacks directed against civilians and civilian infrastructure.”

Turkey also calls on the parties to exercise restraint and refrain from unilateral actions.

“We hope that necessary measures will be taken as soon as possible to de-escalate the situation in the region, and that the necessary mechanisms, including the fight against terrorism, will be established so that such incidents do not recur. We support Pakistan’s demand for an investigation into the terrorist attack on April 22,” reads the statement.
