Slowly Turkish soft power is rising in Pakistan which should slowly squeeze Saudi influence which gained traction since late 1970s oil boom. The Turkish series Ertrugul has been shown on national PTV and has been a hit.

Then down the road that will mature and the secular nature will slowly seep in. Over decades consolidating amongst the younger generations.Erdogan the watermellon seller has somwehat tarnished the Turkish brand But I will welcome any soft power push by Ankara towards Pakistan but it has to be realistic portrayal of Modern Turkey none of this neo-Ottoman fantasy please
