A false advertisement is circulating online Turkish government in which Indian tourists are invited to refrain from the dill or postpone their travels in the middle of New Delhi hostilities with Pakistan. The announcement states that the vast majority of Turks They do not know the conflict between India and PakistanThat The Indians are still welcome to the country And that they will be safe during their stay in Türkiye.

Several Indian media have even collected the alleged declaration of the government and I informed it as if it were authentic.
He also reached the Greek side of X, and some claim that it shows it Turkish tourist industry It is panic and what Veranentes should take into consideration the idea of traveling to Greece in progresswhich according to them is a more unconditional ally in India.
However, different indications show us that the announcement is false, starting from the fact that it was presumably shared by the “Tourism Department”. This department does not exist: its real name is Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The difference can be thin, but it is something that an official announcement of the government would do well. The alleged announcement does not appear in the list of press releases Recent officials issued by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the photo that has been shared on social networks does not resemble any of those authentic communications.
The Indian boycott against Türkiye is real
In addition, no renowned Turkish means seem to have informed it. Eurovereify contacted With the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, But he has not received any response to the request for comments. However, the Indian boycott against Türkiye is very real, after the news that Pakistan used Turks against India when both countries have faced each other After the attack of Pahalgam, in the Kashmir administered by India.
On April 22, five armed terrorists killed 26 civilians, in particular Hindu. The Indian police said two of the militants were of Pakistani nationalityAnd the government accused Pakistan of supporting them. The latter categorically denies any involvement in the accident. Türkiye was one of the countries that supported Pakistan after India responded to the attack with a military action, which caused calls to the boycott of the country Together with Azerbaijan, who also expressed his support to Islamabad.
Indian travel sites affirm it The travel cancellations in Türkiye have shot themselves in the last weekAnd some companies even recommend traveling directly to that country.
