Turkish diplomat's view on why for Islamabad cross-border terror is not quite terror!



Pakistan's Kashmir policy could be informed by an unconventional view of cross-border terrorism, at least one Turkish diplomat contended, according to a cable classified by Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara Robert Deutsch.
The cable was accessed by The Hindu through WikiLeaks.
Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs South Asia Head Ergin Soner “said that he sees no change in the Pakistani attitude toward cross-border terrorism,” following Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's January 2004 diplomatic visit to Turkey (13493: confidential, dated January 26, 2004).
Both Turkey and Pakistan and may others like Saudi Arabia do have a different definition for terrorism perpetrated against a Muslim majority country and India & USA, where Muslims are minority.
