News Topical, Digital Desk : Everyone knows that Turkey supported Pakistan in the four-day military conflict between India and Pakistan (India Pakistan Conflict) . For the last several years, Turkey has also lobbied for Pakistan on the Kashmir issue.
But, in the last few days, another country has been sympathetic to Pakistan. This country is Azerbaijan, which is about 2900 kilometers away from India, is Iran's neighbor and a country formed after the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
When India entered Pakistan and eliminated the terrorists, Azerbaijan also gave Pakistan its shoulder to cry on. This country condemned India's military attack and said that it would stand shoulder to shoulder with Pakistan.
The answer is that these three countries are in love with soft Islamism. Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party are emphasizing on promoting Islamic ideology in Turkey. Azerbaijan, which is said to be a secular Muslim, is also coming under the influence of Turkey and spewing venom against India.
It is said that Turkey and Azerbaijan are like one nation two states. On the other hand, Pakistan has become a completely radical Islamic country. That is why all three have become each other's 'bhaijaan'.
There is another big reason behind the friendly relations between the three countries, that is the ongoing dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Actually, there is a dispute between the two countries over a piece of land spread over an area of 4,403 kilometers. This area is called Nagorno-Karabakh. For the last several years, both the countries have come face to face several times to capture this area.
Pakistan has openly supported Azerbaijan on this issue, but India has adopted a calm and balanced approach in the tension between Azerbaijan and Armenia. This thing irritates Azerbaijan.
Now let us know how is the relationship between India and Azerbaijan?
At present, India is the seventh largest trading partner of Azerbaijan. Every year, lakhs of Indians visit Azerbaijan. More than 1500 people from the Indian community live in Azerbaijan.
India exports rice, mobile phones, aluminium oxide, medicines, smartphones, ceramic tiles, granite, machinery, meat and animals to Azerbaijan.
After Operation Sindoor, India has taken strict action against Turkey and Azerbaijan who lobbied for Pakistan. Indians have boycotted Turkey and Azerbaijan products and tourism. This decision is going to give a big blow to Azerbaijan's tourism industry. Overall, Azerbaijan is suffering huge losses because of Pakistan.
Azerbaijan is a secular Muslim country
About 96 percent of the people in Azerbaijan are Muslims. Despite being Muslim majority, Azerbaijan is a secular country. In 1918, this country became the first Muslim secular country. According to the constitution of Azerbaijan, no religion has the status of national religion here and people of all religions have been given equal rights.
Despite being a Muslim majority country, strict restrictions have not been imposed on women and wearing hijab in schools and public institutions is also prohibited in this country. Under the influence of Turkey and Pakistan, the government of Azerbaijan is making the mistake of enmity with India, for which it may have to pay a heavy price.
