Op Sindoor: India flags Pakistan ally Turkey, Azerbaijan's presence at SCO
New Delhi: India has expressed reservations on the presence of Turkey and Azerbaijan, both dialogue partners of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), at the group's Summit in Tianjin, China, early September in the backdrop of the support extended by Ankara and Baku to Pakistan during Operation reservations were conveyed to the hosts China by India in the runup to the Summit, ET has reliably learnt. As SCO works by consensus, reservation on an issue by one member could be the decisive and China have been in dialogue on the issue, ET has learnt. While Turkey had assisted Pakistan with defence hardware including drones, Baku provided political support to Islamabad in the backdrop of Pakistan's support against Armenia on Azerbaijan's territorial matters. A preliminary probe into the debris of Pakistani drones thwarted by India's air defence systems revealed that the country used Turkey-made drones. Subsequently, in India, there were growing calls to boycott Turkey and Azerbaijan over their support for Pakistan. Last month external affairs minister S Jaishankar raised the issue of the terror attack in Pahalgam at the SCO foreign ministers meet in Tianjin and said member countries needed to remain true to the grouping's founding objectives and maintain an uncompromising position on terrorism. Jaishankar, who was on his first China visit since the Galwan Valley clashes in June 2020, said the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, in which 26 people were killed, "was deliberately conducted to undermine the tourism economy of Jammu and Kashmir, while sowing a religious divide." "The three evils that SCO was founded to combat were terrorism, separatism and extremism. Not surprisingly, they often occur together. Recently, we in India witnessed a graphic example in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22. It was deliberately conducted to undermine the tourism economy of Jammu and Kashmir, while sowing a religious divide," Jaishankar said.

Why two Buddhist nations are fighting over a Hindu temple
A century-old dispute along the 817-km border between Cambodia and Thailand suddenly degenerated into a military conflict when the world's eyes were firmly on Gaza. The conflict jolted ASEAN, the regional association focused largely on economic issues. A shooting war over a dispute that includes the ownership of a 11thcentury Hindu temple—Preah Vihar, a Unesco heritage site perched on a hilltop overlooking the two Buddhist-majority countries—was unexpected. Direct talks between the Thai and Cambodian prime ministers, mediated by the Malaysian PM, have resulted in an unconditional ceasefire, though Thailand had earlier rejected third-party mediation. Cambodia alleged that Thailand had agreed to a Malaysian proposal but then backed off, possibly owing to pressure from the Thai military. The Thai foreign minister made the ceasefire conditional on Cambodia showing 'genuine sincerity in ending the conflict' and indicated his country was open to dialogue. The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting to discuss the situation; China and the US also offered to mediate. For Donald Trump, it was yet another opportunity to grandly announce that he had called upon both countries to accept a ceasefire and threatened to withhold trade deals if they didn't comply. He added slyly that he was reminded of his role in the India-Pakistan ceasefire. Trump seems desperate to shore up his peacemaking credentials that have been severely dented by his failure in Ukraine and Gaza despite threats and deadlines. In the short and sharp conflict, the two Asian militaries lobbed rockets and artillery shells into each other's territories claiming self-defence. Thailand deployed drones on Cambodia's military targets. Thailand, a non-Nato ally of the US, is better equipped with American weaponry; whereas Cambodia's smaller military is armed with old Chinese and Russian weaponry. An estimated 45 civilians and soldiers were killed and over 2 lakh inhabitants fled their villages near the border. It was the second skirmish in 3 months since a Cambodian soldier was shot dead after landmine explosions injured five Thai soldiers. Both countries recalled their ambassadors accused the other of 'war crimes'. Thailand blamed Cambodia for targeting villages, civilian establishments like a hospital and petrol stations, while Cambodia alleged that Thailand had used banned cluster bombs.
