Turkey, after an invasion in 1974, established the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), which started of a long military standoff between the two sides. Erdogan has stationed over 30000 troops in the area.  Prime Minister Narendra Modi met President of Cyprus Nicos Anastasiades after his UNGA speech.

Turkey and Greece too have bad relations, and once came really close to military conflict over the Greek islets of Imia in 1996. The United states eventually intervened to avoid a war. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already met his Greece and Cyprus counterparts.

Indian P.M Narendra Modi also met with Armenia PM Nikol Pashinyan, whose country shares a border with Turkey. There also, Turkey-Armenia relations are very poor.

In view of the problems, the three countries have with Turkey, Modi meeting the leaders of the three nations is significant. India is making counter moves against Turkey who is trying to side with Pakistan on Kashmir issue.
