Fake Turkish government advert urges Indian tourists to ignore boycott.
00:07
A sham announcement from the Turkish government is circulating online,
00:11
urging Indian tourists to refrain from cancelling or postponing their trips
00:15
amid New Delhi's hostilities with Pakistan.
00:18
The announcement says that the vast majority of Turkish people
00:21
are unaware of the conflict between India and Pakistan,
00:24
that Indians are still warmly welcome,
00:26
and that they'll still be safe throughout their stay in Turkey.
00:29
It's been shared on social media against the backdrop of a Turkish boycott in India,
00:34
which includes calls to boycott travel to Turkey
00:36
and the severing of ties with Turkish businesses and universities
00:40
after Ankara was quick to back Islamabad in the conflict.
00:43
Various Indian media outlets even picked up the supposed government statement
00:47
and reported on it as if it were authentic.
00:49
It's also made its way to the Greek side of X,
00:52
with some claiming that it shows the Turkish tourism industry is panicking
00:55
and that holidaymakers should consider travelling instead to Greece,
00:59
which they say is a more stalwart ally of India.
01:02
However, several clues show that the announcement is fake,
01:05
beginning with the fact that it's supposedly been shared by the Department of Tourism.
01:09
No such department exists.
01:11
Its real name is the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
01:14
A subtle difference, but any official government announcement would get that right.
01:18
If we take a look at the list of recent official press releases
01:21
by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, we see that no such announcement exists.
01:26
Additionally, the supposed announcement looks nothing like any of the authentic statements put out recently,
01:31
and no reputable Turkish news organisation appears to have reported on it.
01:35
Euroverify reached out to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism,
01:38
but didn't receive a response as of the time of recording.
01:41
Nevertheless, the Indian boycott against Turkey is very much real,
01:45
following reports that Pakistan used Turkish drones against India.
01:49
Indian travel sites say that cancellations have shot up over the past week,
01:53
with some even discouraging travel to Turkey.
