Pakistanis are also very welcome in Turkey i think you found it out by yourself when you mentioned that you are Pakistani.

I saw some Pakistani tourists in Istanbul and I told them that "they should feel at home this is their country too" and they said "yeah we feel like this is our country". In other words they din't feel like they were in foreign lands. Thats the feeling I got from them.

The funny thing is that these tourist that I talked to were on the same airplane as me on the way to Turkey.

Turkey is such a fascinating country it has a very rich culture and history which not only they are proud of but we as Pakistanis are proud of them as well. No doubt the love between common people of Pakistan and Turkey is unmatchable. We see Turkey as a role model for us. With much love to Turkey from Pakistan.
