India's Top Traders' Body Resolves to Boycott Turkey, Azerbaijan, Urges Film Industry to Follow Suit for Backing Pak

  • On May 16, 2025, more than 125 prominent Indian trade leaders gathered in New Delhi and committed to halting all commercial and travel relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan in response to their backing of Pakistan.
  • The boycott follows Turkey and Azerbaijan siding with Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, including deploying Turkish drones against India, which traders said undermines India's sovereignty and insults 140 crore Indians' sentiments.
  • The boycott affects imports such as Turkish apples, jewellery, marble, and other goods, while travel agencies and event planners are urged to halt promotion of these countries as destinations, with local traders initiating awareness campaigns.
  • Praveen Khandelwal, CAIT Secretary General, stated that the stance taken by Turkey and Azerbaijan damages India's sovereignty and national interests while deeply offending the feelings of the entire Indian population, demonstrating a strong sense of national unity.
  • This collective economic response aims to pressure Turkey and Azerbaijan to reconsider their stance on Pakistan and signals growing economic nationalism aligned with India’s 'vocal for local' movement.
