“Those who sent our brothers who took refuge under the protection of the United Nations to death by handing them over to their murderers did not account for their responsibilities. Even more grave humanity, especially European politicians and media outlets, did not learn the necessary lessons from the Srebrenica Genocide.
The massacres we have witnessed in many parts of the world from Syria to Yemen, from Arakan to New Zealand are the most painful example of this. The international organizations that have been watching the Srebrenica Genocide desperately have just watched these atrocities in recent years. ”

In a period when economic difficulties and social tensions are escalating due to the coronavirus epidemic, all those who defend democracy, freedom, peace and justice, and all statesmen have important duties.
In order to prevent the genocide committed in Srebrenica from repeating again, we should courageously articulate the mistakes we see and look for solutions together. We must fulfill our responsibility not only for ourselves and our countries, but also for the future of our children.
I wish this meaningful summit, which was held on the 25th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide and on the 25th anniversary of the Dayton Peace Agreement, will be an awakening occasion for the whole world, especially European countries. ”
