Istanbul: Since the violence against the Rohingya Muslims has surfaced, unmasking the cruelty of its country disowning its own people, killing them brutally, making it to the headlines of its neighboring countries, only a few countries have stepped forward in lending their aids for the suffering Rohingyas Muslims in Rakhine state providing them shelter.
The world, as it seems, is silently watching with no humanity left for the violence against these Rohingyas for no country is standing up to Myanmar’s cruelty which they do not acknowledge as an extermination of Rohingya’s Muslims.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu has requested Bangladesh to open its doors to Rohingya Muslims fleeing violence in Rakhine state in the west of Myanmar adding that Turkey would pay the expenses for providing them shelter in the country.
At an event celebration of Justice and Development Party (AK Party) Eid-al-Adha in Antalya, the Foreign Minister spoke about the violence against Rohingya Muslims and its call to Bangladesh requesting the country to open its doors to Rohingya Muslims.
He said, “We have also mobilized the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. We will hold a summit regarding the Rakhine state this year. We need to find a decisive and permanent solution to this problem”.
Adding that no other Muslim country except Turkey has stepped forward against the violence and the innocent Rohingya Muslim massacre happening in Myanmar.
The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan took the initiative to hold phone calls with Muslim leaders throughout the world to call them to solve this serious violence against the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. So far, the Turkish President has spoken to heads of 13 nations on the occasion of Eid-al Adha regarding his concerns about the Rohingya Massacre.
Turkey stands second in offering humanitarian aid to the world after the US with $6 billion against US’s $6.3 billion said the Turkish Foreign Minister.
Çavuşoğlu has also spoken to Kofi Annan, head of Advisory Commission on Rakhine state and former U.N. General Secretary.
The 2012 communal violence that broke between Buddhists and Muslim populations in Myanmar disrupted the country.
Earlier on 25 August, violence against Rohingya Muslim community broke out when the country’s security forces launched a joint operation against the community, forcing the community people to take refuge in neighboring countries.
According to the media reports, Myanmar is using its security forces to displace thousands of Rohingya villagers, killing them, destroying their homes with machine guns and mortars.
Earlier, in Maungdaw in October, a security crackdown was launched which led the UN to report the Myanmar situation as crimes against the humanity. In its report, the UN documented mass gang-rape, killings including infants and young children, brutal beatings, and disappearances.
So far, 400 people have been slaughtered during this crackdown said the Rohingya representatives.
