IIT-Roorkee joins institutions which have cut Turkiye links
Friday, 16 May 2025 IIT-Roorkee and other Indian universities cancelled agreements with Turkish counterparts. This decision follows similar moves by JNU and Jamia Millia Islamia. Lovely Professional University also ended collaborations with Turkiye and Azerbaijan. The universities cited national security and pro-Pakistan stances as reasons. The Association of Indian Universities urged a review of partnerships with Pakistan, Turkiye, and Bangladesh.
A major forest fire broke out in the Taraklı district of Turkey’s Sakarya province, spreading rapidly due to strong winds. Authorities evacuated 100 residents for safety. Firefighting teams, military units, and emergency responders are battling the flames, which have lit up the region’s mountainous forest at night. No injuries have been reported so far. Investigations are ongoing, with 17 suspects detained in connection with multiple fires across provinces. The disaster highlights rising risks from climate change as Türkiye continues its efforts to control and extinguish the blaze.

During the NATO summit, Turkish President Erdoğan and French President Macron shared another tense and awkward moment. When Macron stood in front of the Turkish flag, Erdoğan subtly but firmly pulled him to his right side—causing visible discomfort. This follows a previous viral incident in Tirana where Erdoğan grabbed Macron’s finger during a handshake. Netizens are calling it a quiet power move from Erdoğan, adding to Macron’s recent streak of bizarre public moments—including a face-shove from his wife in Vietnam. Their uneasy diplomacy continues to stir global curiosity.

In a stunning betrayal, Turkish construction firm Gulermak has reportedly fled Kanpur, leaving behind ₹80 crore in unpaid dues and 53 Indian contractors high and dry. The company, responsible for the underground section of the Kanpur Metro, delayed payments for nearly ten months—then vanished. This came in the wake of nationwide anti-Turkey protests tied to Ankara's stance in the India-Pakistan conflict. Despite repeated complaints, UPMRC and government authorities took no action, allowing foreign officials to evade accountability. Is this a case of pure negligence—or a political embarrassment India can’t afford to ignore?

Turkey Boycott: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has publicly backed Pakistan during India’s Operation Sindoor, calling PM Shehbaz Sharif his “precious brother” and praising the rare friendship between their nations. The message sparked outrage across India, with calls for a total boycott of Turkey and Azerbaijan. Shehbaz Sharif thanked Erdogan on X, while reports confirmed that Turkish-made drones were used in the conflict. Indian travel platform Ixigo suspended bookings to Turkey and Azerbaijan. Though symbolic, the $400 million Indian tourism market loss could still impact Turkey’s economy and image.

Bangladesh interim leader Muhammad Yunus claims he asked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to block Sheikh Hasina’s online speeches — but Modi refused, saying, “It’s social media, you can’t control it.”
Yunus, who now leads Bangladesh after Hasina’s ouster, made this revelation during a talk at Chatham House in London.
As Hasina continues to address the Bangladeshi public from India, tensions rise, with Yunus accusing her of stirring unrest.
Meanwhile, Yunus’ own anti-India remarks and outreach to China have alarmed New Delhi.
Is Bangladesh heading into deeper turmoil? And is India taking a firm stand on digital freedom?
