And I 've seen increased cooperation between India and Armenia
During the Karabakh war and until the period when Armenia accepted defeat, I was following dozens of Armenian sources daily. There were many Armenian sources who wrote that poor quality or dysfunctionality of military equipments provided from India was one of the reasons for the embarrassing defeat in Karabakh. It is said that the spirit of the Pakistani special forces were also wandering Karabakh, Idk.
While there are Russia on one shore, and other countries on the other side that can obtain any military system they want from the Atlantic pact by long-term loans to those countries: It would not be a technical problem for Indian military products to be visible at one of our borders. Apart from political consequences, of course.
India is not China and never a US or EU as combined. Not even close to the technical or regional influence capacity of these countries. So balancing India will not be a problem. Even the word of 'balance' is absurd here. India may be an important actor in its region, but it does not have the capacity to directing Turkish foreign policy by influencing the Turkish hinterland.
If Russia doesn't approve, you can't even sell pins in Armenia. But whatever you are selling, you also need Iranian logistics. I don't know how much you are follow Azerbaijan-Armenia dispute, but I have to tell you that Armenian president was almost a subject of a military coup because he critizied Iskander ballistic system. First, the Armenian General Staff issued a statement praising Russia, then Pashinyan changed his words in the opposite direction. Even though Pashinyan was a man of the Atlanticists, he was never able to act contrary to the interests of Russia. India should avoid the thought that it can be a deterrent by showing its hard power or directly confront every country of dispute. Going out with empty dreams and lacking knowledge of regional politics and tradition of up to a hundred years, will produce results like an elephant wandering around in a glassware shop.
As far as I can see, there are quite a lot of Indian conservative members here. I want to say clearly that Turkey is not an enemy of India. On the contrary, there is a cooperation of tens of billions of dollars in dozens of trade/industrial areas,
including military projects. Regarding the Jammu-Kashmir issue, I would like to say that each statement of Turkey representatives makes has a background set forth by UN resolutions. They didnt said anything that has not yet been said in the world before. Turkey's stance on this issue is not even relevant directly to the current government and president. Numerous panels are organized to raise public awareness of the atrocities in Kashmir, especially in Istanbul. Many people from all over the world come to explain the justification of Pakistan. Many press members and think-tank organizations attend these meetings. My advice to Indian friends is to come and convince the Turkish public. At the very least, Indians may put forward their own thesis and contribute to a fair conscientious questioning environment. However, you cast a shadow even on your thesis for Turkish public with fake propaganda activities or planned post-truth activities.
By the way, thank you for the report,
@Foxtrot Alpha . It will be considered. However, Turks are already vaccinated in this regard. The situation can be better understood if look at our recent history and the actors around us.
