The All Parties Hurriyat Conference Convener, Mehmood Ahmed Saghar, and senior leader, Ghulam Muhammad Safi, on behalf of the people of Jammu and Kashmir have congratulated Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for his reelection as the President of Türkiye.
Mehmood Ahmed Saghar in a letter to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, “It is indeed a historic and momentous occasion for you and your party, the Türkiye Justice and Development Party (AkParty), which has already won a majority in the parliamen-tary elections.”
He said in the letter that the trust and confidence reposed on Recep Tayyip Erdoğan by the Turkish people will be a source of great strength for him in materializing his long cherished dream of making Türkiye a great nation. We believe that under your dynamic leadership, Türkiye will continue to prosper and reach new heights of success, he wrote to the Turkish President.
Saghar in the letter maintained that Recep Tayyip Erdoğan proved to be the voice of all voiceless peo-ple across the globe, be it Palestine, Rohingya Muslims, Yemen, Egypt, Syria, Afghanistan, Kashmir and elsewhere. He said the Kashmiris owe the Turkish President a debt of gratitude for raising his voice in favour of their right to self-determination on every important forum.
“Turkey is an important country with which we share an unbreakable bond of love and affinity, togetherness. And above all, Turkey is one amongst those friendly countries that have wholeheartedly supported our struggle for the right to self-determination, for which we are highly grateful to you, your government and especially the Turkish people who stood by us through every thick and thin,” he added.
He said the people of Kashmir hope that Türkiye, under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, will continue its all-out support to the Kashmiris’ legiti-mate political struggle till they achieve their cherished goal of freedom from Indian subjugation.
Senior APHC-AJK leader, Ghulam Muhammad Safi, in his felicitation message said every individual in Indian illegally occupied Jammu Kashmir feels indebted to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Türkiye for the unwavering support to the just causes of the people of Kashmir and Palestine. “The people of both these occupied lands celebrated your victory because it meant a lot to them and to their struggles against illegal occupation,” he added.—KMS
