The decision comes amid rising concerns over ongoing situations and geopolitical tensions.
On the other hand, Maulana Azad National Urdu University, on its official website, said that MANUU has cancelled its academic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Yunus Emre Institute, Turkey with immediate effect.
"The decision is taken in protest against Turkey's support for Pakistan's terrorist activities in the backdrop of Indo-Pak tensions," the MANU said in a statement.
"It is worth mentioning that on 2nd January 2024, MANUU had signed an MoU with Yunus Emre Institute, Turkey, for a period of five years, under which a diploma in Turkish language was started at the School of Languages, Linguistics & Indology, MANUU. Services of a visiting Professor were hired for this. In the wake of the ongoing tensions, the visiting Professor from Turkey has already returned to his country," the varsity stated.
