Pakistan's 'good friend' Turkey on Friday clarified that it never suggested a ‘mediatory role' in the tensions between India and Pakistan.
Turkish ambassador to India Sakir Ozkan said that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had never offered to intervene in the matter, and had merely asked both sides to "not allow the bloodshed to continue."
The ambassador was talking at a press meet in New Delhi to mark a year of the failed coup attempt in Turkey to overthrow the Erdogan regime, reported News 18.
When PM Modi met Erdogan in May this year, he had firmly stated that the issue between India and Pakistan would be resolved bilaterally and that it primarily stemmed from cross-border terror activities.
