China declared the ratification of an extradition treaty with Turkey, a document that Beijing would like to use, among other items, to speed up the return of some "terrorist" refugees and Muslim Uighurs.
Although the bilateral agreement signed in 2017 has not yet been ratified by the Turkish parliament, concerns have already been posed among the large Uyghur diaspora (estimated at 50,000 people) present in Turkey.
Turkey has linguistic and cultural links with the Uyghurs, and Ankara has long been one of the main supporters on the international stage of their cause, while Turkey's public display of support has recently declined.
As the Turks are globally vulnerable to the Uyghur cause, the issue is a delicate one for Ankara. A national uproar has already been provoked by news stories accusing Turkey of having secretly expelled Uighurs to China.
Turkey is the only Muslim-majority nation to have openly denounced Uighur treatment so far. At the beginning of 2019, the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs described it as a "disgrace for humanity"
However, last year in China, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan praised the policy carried out in Xinjiang, judging the people there "happy" according to comments published by the official China News agency.
