After this news many users on social media platforms started questioning Turkey over their stand. Netizens started demanding a complete boycott of Turkey and asking other Indians not to travel to Turkey. 

Some travel booking platforms also supported the Indians over their stand. MakeMyTrip has urged people to avoid non-essential travel to Azerbaijan and Turkey over the two countries.
