India wages economic war on Turkey
India this week revoked the security clearance of Turkey-based Celebi Aviation Holding's subsidiaries in the country over Ankara's perceived backing of Pakistan.
Welcome back to Al-Monitor Turkey 🇹🇷
This week had the global commentariat marveling at the prowess of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. “This is Erdogan’s big comeback on the world stage,” veteran Turkish journalist Asli Aydintasbas told the Washington Post’s Ishaan Tharoor as Turkey hosted peace talks between Russia and Ukraine and helped persuade President Donald Trump to lift sanctions on Syria and to meet its former jihadi leader, Ahmad al-Sharaa.
Most importantly for Turkey itself, the Kurdistan Workers Party declared that it had ended its more than four-decade war against Ankara. Trump repeatedly credited Erdogan as he explained his Syrian forays.
There is decidedly less enthusiasm for Turkey in India, however.
