Assam Chamber Calls for Trade Cease with Turkey, Azerbaijan
The Assam Chamber of Commerce in Guwahati is asking local businesses to stop trading with Turkey and Azerbaijan.

The ACC says this is a form of economic pressure.
The goal is to make Turkey and Azerbaijan change their stance on India.
The Assam Chamber of Commerce (ACC) directed traders in Guwahati to cease trade with Turkey and Azerbaijan.
