I guess he is smart seeking support from Turkey rather than neighbor Pakistan. I can remember when Vietnam sought far away Soviet aid and Albania sought far away Chinese aid. New saying, “Hold your friends close, but get big friends from far away places.”
Pakistan has too many horses in the race — ethnic militias operating on both sides of their common border, active separatist movements, support for the Taliban, judges and politicians getting murdered in broad daylight or threatened into retirement — a failed state, a pseudostate that is disintegrating, and won’t be around as long as even Afghanistan.
