What do Turks Really think of Pakistan and Pakistanis in general

[OsmanAliPaki]

Merharba,

Turkey is probably the most favorite country after like China in Pakistan , Turkish soaps are popular there dubbed on Urdu,10 years ago most upper middle class Pakistanis use to go on holiday to Dubai nowadays it's the craze about Turkey Erdogan your President is well liked there I know many Turks despise him but in Pakistan he is well loved my opinon is I dislike some of his policies anyways what do Turks on this fourm and in real life think of Pakistan and Pakistanis have any of you guys met our countrymen

Pakistanis are pretty weird, I've seen some Pakistanis(on internet) who were even more pro-Turkish than actual Turks. They're worshiping Erdogan for some unknown reasons, which is pretty annoying in my opinion, they're either have no idea about the whole situation in Turkey or they're just Islamists.

As for the Pakistan, Pakistan is the only country that does not recognize Armenia as a state. Internationally since the 1970s Pakistan has supported Turkey's policy of denying the Armenian genocide happened, Pakistan had also supported Azerbaijan during and after the Nagorno-Karabakh War. Pakistan considers the Khojaly Event to be a genocide.

Seriously what's wrong with you people?

If you ask me I cringe when I see some of my countrymen fap to Erdogan you have to understand in Pakistan the media is sensationalist and idiotic so soundbites of when Erdogan slams America or Isreal it riles up folks however the more educated or the diaspora folks they are more knowledgeable of geo politics look at Erdogan with scorn I say it's more of they ignorant anyways Erdogan or no Erdogan Turkey is still a well liked country in Pakistan as for not recognizing Armenia it's more of a solidarity thing with Turkey neighbor Azerbaijan

The Turks on TA will probably dissassociate with Pakistanis in general because they are very much far to the east of Turks and less european. But in real life I think at least the islamic ones will like Pakistanis because of "Ummah".

In real life many of my Turkish friends are not as religious compared to Pakistanis and are Secular but when I say from Pakistan they seem to more "friendly" however Turkey compared to Pakistan is much more westernized

Yes but you dont need to be very religious to have a muslim identity and feel solidarity with other muslims. They still like you because you are muslim. I dont see ethnic kinship though to be honest no offense.

Arabs are mix bag in the 70s and 80s Arabs were considered with high esteem but ever since the huge influx of Pakistani migrant workers in the Gulf and stories of mistreatment many folks in Pakistanis have a bit of dim view of Arabs plus it did not help they spread wahhabism to our country as well

[OsmanAliPaki]

Some Pakistani do have a mixture of Turkic blood, the Hazaras in Balochistan are good example plus some cuisine are similar but I think Turkey is still culturally more different than Pakistan

Pakistan and Turkey even have both the crescent on their flag, arabs do not.

Pakistan and Turkey even have both the crescent on their flag, arabs do not.

As far as I know, that is not a islamic symbol (neither arabic) so there would be no reason to Arabs wear it.
