New DelhiPakistan has always got Turkey's support on the Kashmir issue, but this time something different happened. In the United Nations General Assembly, Pakistan was hoping that Turkish President Erdogan would once again raise the Kashmir issue, but this time he did not even consider it necessary to mention it. President Erdogan addressed the United Nations General Assembly, but did not say a single word on Kashmir. This attitude of Turkey surprised Pakistan. After this attitude of Turkey, people have started making many kinds of speculations. One of these speculations is that BRICS is behind Turkey not saying a single word on Kashmir. It is being said that Turkey wants to see itself standing with the BRICS countries, wants to join it and this is the reason why its President Erdogan did not raise the Kashmir issue even once in his speech.
What has been Erdogan's previous stand on Kashmir?What has been the stand of Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Kashmir is not hidden from anyone. His previous statements testify to this. Pakistan was happy that Turkey was supporting it on its main agenda of Kashmir. President Tayyip Erdogan has also said on public forums that India and Pakistan should resolve the Kashmir issue through dialogue. He had called for a just and lasting peace in Kashmir through mutual cooperation between India and Pakistan in 2023.
He made similar statements in 2022 and 2021. President Erdogan has also referred to UN resolutions on Kashmir in earlier speeches. His 2019 speech specifically focused on the topic. Erdogan has repeatedly said that the dispute should be resolved through justice and dialogue rather than conflict.
Is joining BRICS the reason for this?
Turkey knows that India's stand on Kashmir is clear. It will not compromise on Kashmir at any cost. Not only this, it is clear from the statements of India's Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Foreign Minister S Jaishankar that there is a plan to take back POK, which Pakistan calls Azad Kashmir. Turkey's not raising the Kashmir issue in the UN General Assembly is also to please India. You will think what will Turkey get by pleasing India? The direct answer to this is entry into BRICS.

Like other countries, Turkey also wants to join BRICS. This includes India as well. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan knows very well that if he wants to become a member of BRICS, he will have to keep India happy. This is because Turkey can get entry into BRICS only after India's approval. Turkey also knows that if India refuses, it will be difficult for it to become a part of BRICS. So the overall point is that Turkey will get entry into BRICS only when it comes close to India and tries to please it.
Which countries are currently included in BRICS?
BRICS currently includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. India is one of its most prominent members. There is also news that Turkey may be expelled from the NATO group. One reason for this is that Turkey is looking at BRICS as an alternative before that.
