Abstract
Despites its military engagements in Afghanistan, Turkey is
overwhelmingly active in Afghanistan and Pakistan on the
humanitarian front as well. This paper deliberates upon Turkish
humanitarian responses in both the countries in peace buildings as well
as in natural disasters responses. For this purpose, humanitarian role
of Turkish International Cooperation and Development Agency (TIKA)
and Turkish Red Crescent Society (TRCS) have been discussed in
details in order to see whether their roles have furthered the
“brotherhood-oriented relationship” to a high level of engagement in
conflict resolution and peacebuilding in the region or not. This study
finds that their humanitarian actions have given Turkey a leading role
in the region to involve both the countries in trilateral diplomatic
initiatives, institutional building and transforming their relations for
sustainable peace and development. Keeping the alternate effects on the
region, in the end, shortcomings and policy recommendations have also
been given.
